I am glad spinney is improving, I was just commenting on the fact that instead of euthanizing the pike, they should put them somewhere else.
Hopefully spinney keeps improving!
And if you want to find the actual best areas in this state you gotta be willing to explore and tough it out. The black canyon of the gunnison, with its class V rapids, I float every year and most of those holes never see a lure or fly ever. I got 3 browns over 10 lbs in my one trip. I guess they are there though because most people don't want to do the grueling 4 hour portages and climbing over rocks. 100+ fish days are common, even though you are fishing only a few hours each day because of length of float and portages. That I think will easily make spinney seem like nothing. But I agree for just a day trip spinney mountain is one of the best places for big trout; I believe the lower colorado river after the roaring fork dumps in is the other day trip area where spinney can be beaten for big trout. Exit 114-Exit 105 the trout avg. 3 lbs with many, many, many larger ones EVERYWHERE!!!
Good luck neal and it seems as if you sure know your stuff!
