Just don’t give out all the streams of the east and west side of the Pine Mountains that contain trout as well. Tell your Dad there are those that still appreciate his work there.[/quote]
One of my fondest memories as a child was packing in to a stream in the Wilderness area to collect fish. We had a horse to pack the gear in, and pack the fish out. We were moving them from the west side to a stream on the east side. It wasn't easy. The horse only freaked out and ran off, spilling all the gear, once on the way in.
Knowing that those fish, native bonneville cutthroat, continue to thrive in those streams today is pretty cool. And, knowing that those streams are in the Colorado River drainage makes them just that much more special. Yes, native Bonneville's found naturally in a Colorado drainage. Explained through historical geological events. That's pretty cool.
It's also cool to know that it didn't end with Dad. Richard continues to be a good steward:
