SandBoxBlogs: Summit County Citizens Voice "Morning photo: Fishing!"

Do you know what a beaver pond is?  'SandBox Nanny' has shared with you that she was childhood raised way up at the top of Kebler Pass.

There simply is no place on earth more beautiful than the remote areas of Kebler. 

Flanked on one side by the Town of Crested Butte, she can remember the Gorsuch family  when they barely had an inkling of an idea for business, Crested Butte Mountain having one rope tow and the Warming House.  The 'parade' of our NASA astronauts on main street and meeting Gus Grissom.

On the other side of the pass she can recall Paonia before there was ever a single winery.  Things called subdivisions unheard of and Cherry Days at the park not being all that open to tourism crowds.

Beaver ponds are eco-systems all their own.  Back in the 1960's some of them were even stocked by Fish and Game.  Click on the links throughout her commentary on beaver ponds that are unique to Kebler Pass but know that when you do...you are still not being given insight into the 'secret' ones she knows about.

You see, true fisherman rarely divulge to the public where the best fishing really is.

Be sure to read up on Bob Berwyn's piece this morning as you take a look at some of the ponds he and his family frequent. (Congratulations on that whopper of a fish goes out to Dylan Berwyn).

Fishing was great this past weekend. Babe's getting the feel for a fly rod and I can thank Hal for that interest. Great pics from up on Kebler. You can tell us, nanny.
