Standing Indian NRA (Aug 12-17)

This is a great area to camp, fish, and hike. It is only about 40 miles from Trackrock and lies at an elevation of about 3500 ft. which makes it cooler. We made a reservation this time and stayed on site 12, which is large and private. The other section is mostly open, with visibility to other sites. There are no hookups here, so running a generator is necessary to keep the batteries charged. We caught some fish, and one rainbow Joan caught was about 9 inches, which for here is a good sized fish. We used mostly a size 12 green dry fly with a yellow foam parachute that John ties, but Joan's bigger fish succumbed to a yellow foam nymph that John also ties. One nite our new friends, Sonny and Shirley, brought over a yummy gumbo and shared it with us, which was followed with a nice chat around the fire.
