I usually put the fishing tackle away when it gets cold outside but with the relatively nice weather I've been reconsidering. I'm not thinking about breaking any state records, just fish tacos.

I saw that. It's a beauty of a fish, and not a bad looking fisher woman either. Here's an article with a photo and more info:

I didn't know there were Arctic Char in Dillon. I've caught them in Canada and Alaska. Like colorful brookies.

Neat!

A 23.5 inch char is only 4lbs? huh, I would have thought it would be heavier than that.

So cool! Pretty fish too. I never caught one of those.

Good for her.

A good link Hummer. The statement by the biologist seems to support def90's post. I had no idea we had those in Colorado.

A pretty impressive fish though. It's always fun to land a big one.
