E26: Game of Stones (Fly Fishing and Survival in the Black Canyon)




The Element Podcast | Public Land, Hunting Tactics, Whitetail Deer, Politics, Wildlife, Travel, Conservation, and more. show

Summary: <p>Today on the show, we discuss our recent trip to the incredible Black Canyon of the Gunnison. This is a place where the backcountry can leave you longing for more and also seeking refuge at the same time. There are no words to truly describe its beauty, nor can any photo accurately show its grandeur.</p><br> <p>And oh yeah.... We hit the Salmonfly hatch. The dry fly action was AWESOME! This was the best fly fishing either of us have experienced. </p><br> <p>Our minds are on whitetail deer, so it didn't take us long to get to checking game cameras. Tyler has video of three big mature bucks that have us PUMPED for the season to get here! Our hit list is coming together quickly. We also talk about K.C.'s new trail running/hiking boots that he hopes will help him seal the deal on another big bull elk this fall. </p><br> <p> </p><br> <p>Links:</p><br> <p> </p><br> <p>Lickey PLC:</p><br> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/xdng6NKGuIY">https://youtu.be/xdng6NKGuIY</a></p><br> <p> </p><br> <p>Black Canyon Blog Post:</p><br> <p><a href="https://www.theelementwild.com/single-post/2017/07/06/Black-Canyon-Bliss">https://www.theelementwild.com/single-post/2017/07/06/Black-Canyon-Bliss</a></p><br> <p> </p><br> <p>Gunnison River Fly Shop:</p><br> <p><a href="http://www.gunnisonriverflyshop.com">http://www.gunnisonriverflyshop.com</a></p><br> <p> </p><br> <p>Black Canyon National Park:</p><br> <p><a href="https://www.nps.gov/blca/index.htm">https://www.nps.gov/blca/index.htm</a></p><br> <p> </p><br> <p>Music by Tyler and the Tribe:</p><br> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TylerandtheTribe">https://www.youtube.com/user/TylerandtheTribe</a> </p>
