Managed to get out with my buddy Mac on Friday for some fishing. The fishing started off slow for the day, it was cold and windy as heck. First we checked out the Colorado River, but that was too high and muddy and flowing good for my buddy Mac to fish it. So we decided to head over to the Blue. Fished the lower Blue for awhile and nailed this little beauty. First fish of the day. After fishing here we decided to get in the car and warm up and head over and fish in town. Fished for a few hours in town. Caught several fish, but none the size of the first fish and decided to head home. On the way down the mtn, truck started ticking and appeared the transmission/clutch dropped just outside Dumont and was able to coast off the highway onto the exit and pull over. Couldn't get the old 4runner running again so called the tow man to come and pick us up. Got the truck back to Denver and now begins the thoughts of what to do. Fix it or buy a new truck. Ill have to sit on this one awhile. A little bummed about the truck breaking down, but what is one going do. Stuff happens. No reason to get mad. At least I caught a nice fish.

Sorry about the truck...it's tough to lose a good fishing buddy. Good looking trout though!
Always a downer when the fishing buggy goes on the blink. Funny how vehicles we fish out of get somehow engrained in us. Good news it will all work out one way or another! Hell of a nice rainbow by the way. I'm assuming below Green Mountain.
Man, that truck has close to 200K on it right? It has been real good to you for all those years. Sorry to hear that she died on you.
ah its a toyota,, timeing chain, plugs wires and a cap, should be good for another 50k... fix it!
Nice damn BOW!
Sanders, Thanks, yeah it was a great fish, put a decent fight.
Midge Man-- Yeah, I am a bit bummed about the truck, As Brandon stated, it has been with me along time and has treated me very well over the years and got me all over the country. Brandon, thanks for the kind words. Appreciate it! Bigerrfish, I hear ya, I am debating on fixing it. Think it is the clutch and a few other things, or just getting a sequoia. well see how the week plays out. Thanks Gents.
Oh yeah, Midge, he was taken at Palmer Gultch. Was a nice fish, calling it the expensive fish. LOL>
