Morning Canoe

Abby and I decided that we should get our weekend off and running by going up to Gross Reservoir and go boating at sunrise. The sun just came over the horizon while we were winding our way up Flagstaff Road.
Once you get up Flagstaff, there are views down the southern canyon which leads to Eldorado Springs.
Once we got to the Res, we inflated Abby's canoe and pushed off in to the water.
My Olukai sandals strapped to the front boat webbing. They are the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned. Shondia reps them and I can't wait for the new line to arrive.
Abby ended up catching a trout at the inlet to the reservoir. It was pretty big and we quickly got the hook out and released it back in to the water.
We didn't have a measuring tape, but it had to be 24" long!
Abby and I stretching our legs before climbing in and heading back to the car. It's been unbelievably hot here and once the sun comes out it got hot fast!

Wow! What a fish. You guys should try out for Deadliest Catch. Fly fishing or casting?

Casting, and then "swimming" the lure across the flowing water coming down from the mountains.
