Just past our property the Big Thompson River takes a bend and there is a big eddy where river debris ends up. When the river is high a large amount of material gathers in that area including big logs, smaller sticks, general trash, and stuff.

The river is too high to wade across to that area, so Mr. Troutbend decided to hike over the hill just to see what's over there.




Here some of the loot he found over there:


There is a red and white cooler over there, but the lid is warped so it's not worth trying to salvage it.

He says there are a lot of flip-flops, some of them very nice, but none of them match. He brought one back that he thinks will fit him because he was needing a left foot one; it's like new.

A couple of years ago one of the club fishermen was bemoaning the fact that his box of fishing flies fell out of his pocket and floated away before he missed it. I think we found it today. Unfortunately it wasn't waterproof, and after two years underwater the hooks have rusted away from the fly parts, so it looks like a box of dead bugs.





Here he is climbing out of there:


That little white speck is his tee shirt.
