Trout. I used to either hike down the Pecos, and fish, or drive to Durango.
Spinners. I tried to make a go of fly fishing, and really couldn't find my rhythm. I need lessons because I really want to get the hang of it.
Once, we went to Durango and was having a hard luck day, not getting any to bite, and we saw this man across the lake pulling them out like a champ. So we went to see what he was using, and it turned out that he makes his own lures. They were so pretty that I could have worn them as ear rings.
We bought a couple off him, and went back to the side of the lake we started on. Right away they started biting. It was cool at first because we caught the limit, and then started having to throw the rest back. But after a while, there was no challenge to it. Kind of felt like cheating.
