West Fork Clear Creek/Empire Winter Park Road

Every now and then you do have to take a break from the fishing.  A nice drive trip to the west fork of Clear Creek.  The water was running very clear making it tough to coax the native trout to chase down our lures.  While we didn't hook into any we had alot of chasers. 
Finding alot of rapids running into deep pools the late start in the day may have had something to do with the lack of fish caught.  May have been more action if we had brought the fly rods.
Hmm maybe this is why the fish are so jumpy.  Big bear paws tend to make fish a little spooked when you are wading in the river.  We did find a few nice spots that I am looking forward to trying when we have a little more time in the day to really fish them.  Hopefully we can get back up there before the snow hits.
