The Trout Lake Next Door


Colorado Trout
Originally uploaded by ...olson family...
My new place in Colorado Springs is within two miles of a lake stocked with trout: Quail Lake. I first tried the lake fishing with my son the other night. Within ten minutes I hooked a monster rainbow trout that broke me off in about two feet of water. I returned this morning with my float tube. I got three rainbows chucking a wooly bugger. The one in the picture was the smallest, but had the best color. Bobbing in my float tube in the shadow of Pikes Peak is a true Rocky Mountain High.
