3000 Mile Motorcycle Ride: Fishing in the Rockies at Stagecoach Reservoir

What can I say it's another fishing trip to Stagecoach Reservoir.  This place is near Oak Creek in Western Colorado. We always catch fish there so that's why we always go back.

First, it is a quick trip to Rocky Mountain National Park through Longmont and Lyons.  Lyons was affected quite a bit by last Fall's flood, but they are coming back.   What can you say about Rocky Mountain National Park, it is the stunning beauty.

We work our way to through to western Colorado stopping in Kernelling it is the best Mexican food of the trip.   Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant is in an old house at the corner of US 40 and Colorado Route 9.   It is so good we stop again on the way back.

We make it to Stagecoach by mid afternoon we are fishing.  After a few hours, we have 5 big trout.   You can only say fish fry once we get back to Denver.   We meet a character called Rudy who seems to be catching all the fish.   If only we had his spot.  It might have been the whiskey he was drinking that was attracting all the fish.

Once it started getting dark we make it to the Oak Creek Motel and dinner at the Colorado Bar and Cafe.   The food isn't bad, but average.  It was a good sleep but time to get back at it.  The next morning we are up at 7 am and back to fishing.  Rudy beats us to our stop again.  This time with no luck.

So back to Denver and a fish fry. First another stop at Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant.   We get what we need to make it over the Eisenhower Tunnel and back to Denver.   A short overnight trip is just what the doctor ordered.
