Sleeping Dog Ranch

July 5, 2010 Today, Greg took me to the Sleeping Dog Ranch, which is a leased property that provides fly-fishing only private access to the Cebolla River (Say-voy-ya). This is nice stretch of river that the owners have invested a considerable sum in to improve the fishery. Wild brown trout inhabit this typical winding meadow stream and was a treat to fish. I was able to coax several of those wild fish, a couple of which were 14”, which is a respectable fish for a stream of this size. While Greg and I fished, Kent went to Gunnison with a group from Vickers Ranch to play golf. The girls were content to hang around Lake City and visit the shops, and then to spend a good part of the day sitting on the front porch reading. Greg, Kent, and I were moaning and groaning after our physically taxing day that they talked us in to jumping in the hot tub to soothe the aches and pains - as they say, it is heck getting old.
