Brown & Gold

| Brown Trout by Jeff McDonald |
The thought of fall in Wyoming is always exciting to me, and it brings to mind two words: brown and gold. Sure, there are the beautiful changing leaves on the cottonwood and aspen trees and the University of Wyoming football games, but to me brown and gold describes something else entirely.
Fall is the best time of year to fly fish for brown trout in the Big Laramie River in southeast Wyoming. They display brilliant colors of brown and gold, and they are aggressive hunters in the cooler temperatures and lower light of fall.
After a long summer of feeding and growing, the resident brown trout are larger and more confident than they were in the spring. They like to hold in deeper holes of the river or in undercut banks and submerged brush piles, waiting to ambush a meal.
They can be almost ghost-like; merely a dark shadow that appears out of nowhere to attack their prey. They are very calculated and will only show themselves if the meal opportunity is worth it.
Because of this behavior, I typically fish for fall browns with large flies that imitate such a meal opportunity. I use large streamer patterns, such as a black and red cone-head woolly bugger or a crayfish pattern. These flies are large and heavy, and they sink fast.
A delicate presentation is not needed; I actually prefer to cause a bit of a commotion when the fly hits the water to get their attention. I cast the fly over to the opposite bank, near their hideouts, and let it sink right in front of them. I then give the fly some deliberate twitches and strips of the line to make it appear as if it is trying to flee.
If a brown trout locks in on the fly, the shadow comes out and there is no question when the fish hits the fly. With a strong hook-set and a raise of the rod, the battle begins. A fight with a brown trout is not like a rainbow trout; the browns will be steady and strong. Rather than using acrobatics and speed to try to shake the fly like a rainbow, a brown will try to use brute force and depth to escape.
When a fall brown trout is brought to my net, I am rewarded with the spectacular colors of these beautiful fish and the feeling one might have after seeing a wolf in Yellowstone. It is a chance to marvel at the “river ghost.” When I release the fish, it slowly disappears back into the depths of the river to hunt again.

Remembering how beautifully smooth a frozen Lake Louise is, last week I decided to once again try my luck with backcountry ice skating.
The hike to Lake Louise can be done in regular hiking boots. At most there were several inches of snow on the trail.
Lake Louise is two miles, 800 vertical feet, an hour away, and, if your hike is anything like ours, several slips on glacially-polished granite from the trailhead. (As you get closer to the lake, the rock is more and more polished. By the time you’re at the lake, the rocks are counter-top smooth.)
We heard the lake crying out well before we reached the boulders ringing the shore. Did you know lake ice makes sounds? (This link has nothing to do with Lake Louise, but the sounds are similar to those I’ve heard there.)
I’ve heard Louise moan before — a deep, rumbling that I anthropomorphized to her emitting sighs of contentment — but this was a different noise. A giant creature living beneath the ice was alerting us that it was trapped. It pounded on the ice’s underside every minute or so.
Maybe not really, but that is what it sounded like.
So Lake Louise wasn’t quite as smooth as in my memory. The ice had buckled and there were minor crevasses around the edge.
Once past the edge, there was a 60-foot (or so) diameter patch of dark, clear ice a Zamboni could not have improved upon. Even though the ice was at least a foot thick, the pounding coming from below was disconcerting. I knew I couldn’t fall in, but my instincts were hard to override. At every pop I froze.
I glided around for 15 minutes or so, never quite working up enough courage to try a one-footed spin, but enjoying looking up at the mountains all around.
The ice skating wasn’t epic by any means, but it gets points for atmosphere.
To reach the Lake Louise trailhead: Go 3.8 miles past downtown Dubois until you see a small sign indicating a Wyoming Game & Fish Department fish hatchery on the right. Turn there. Take a left at the road’s first fork and a right at the second. The road ends at the trailhead about 8 miles back.

Driving across the state of Wyoming could make some people nervous. After all, for a city girl like me, the weather seems unpredictable, the towns feel too far apart and the landscape seems to have a personality all it’s own. But the company I kept that weekend made me feel like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. And I plan on staying right where I am, with the people I am with.

The sun was shining (part of the day). Six inches of snow had fallen the day before. Village Café was serving breakfast burritos and cinnamon rolls. The iconic tram and the Sublette high-speed quad lift weren’t yet open, but there still wasn’t even a bit of a line at the lifts that were.
There’s a new lift too: Marmot. Marmot doesn’t access any additional terrain, but, man, is it welcome. Stretching from the base of the Thunder lift to the top of the Bridger Gondola, it finally allows skiers and riders to easily go back and forth between the two sides of the resort. And it allows skiers in the vicinity of the Thunder lift to get to Rendezvous restaurant (and the supersized cupcakes there) at the top of the gondola without skiing all the way to the resort’s base and then taking the gondola up. It might be my new favorite lift.
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is open daily through April 8. For the first time ever, JHMR has special “featured rates” for multiday lift tickets purchased online. These re only available for certain dates and must be purchased at least seven days in advance.

Playing loud as hell to a packed house at the Hi-Dive on March 6th, the Jetpacks amped up the intensity from their brief Monolith set this fall. The crowd knew all the words (another change from Monolith) and could not have been happier with the boys' performance.

As is customary, this blog seems to go on a winter hiatus due to road closures and workload. [Seriously, the roads are closed as I write this... the above photo is straight from the Department of Transportation today.] I](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4362997969923364373-3221196943565223188?l=wyomusic.blogspot.com){kind=small}
And! Tickets to the Sasquatch! Festival are purchased, marking the true beginning of spring and raising hopes for a fun summer of concert-going. Think spring...
Firstly, and most importantly, I saw the Pixies play all of Doolittle at the Fillmore. While it may be true, as some young bloggers pointed out, that the Pixies are a bit long in the tooth, as are their fans, let us not understate the magnificence of Doolittle as an album top to bottom. How rare for every track to resonate, for even the short romps like Crackity Jones to stick in your brain for all time. I shan't list here the many "firsts" of my life that occurred while listening to Doolittle, but imagine for yourselves how much happened since I first heard it in 1990.
So hearing it now, live, along with choice tracks from Surfer Rosa and my beloved Come on Pilgrim in the encore, made me remember how great rock and roll can be. If I heard Doolittle for the first time today, I would fall in love with each and every minute all over again.
Secondly, the Fray came to Laramie. Which is kind of awesome as Laramie rarely hosts big name shows. Less awesome: me stranded at home under H1N1 quarantine. I think the folks who used my ticket and snapped these photos enjoyed the show more than I would have.
And so ends 2009. With any luck the roads will stay open for some great shows coming up this spring down Denver-way...
s&*tty rock/pop/country.But of course Metro Station served their purpose: allowing the children to grow accustomed to the concert setting while the moms purchased more wine. Bless them.
Miley Cyrus took the stage via a giant Spinal Tap-esque pod (hers opened properly). All you indie fans out there, consider what kind of stage show a Wal-Mart/ Disney sponsorship can provide. Pods! 10 dancers! Flames! Costume changes! Flying motorcycles! Take a moment to think what the Flaming Lips could do with this budget. I'll wait...
And now to Miley: girl can sing. No Ashley Simpson behavior here. She sang it for real, she sounded great, she jumped into the crowd, she connected. She communicated how much she really really wants you to work hard and believe in something and do things that are meaningful to you.
Fan favorites included Party in the USA, Girls Night, and the Hoedown. And of course, the sound of a billion 6 year olds singing along with encore The Climb will give you goosebumps (or make your hairs stand on end, same thing right?)
The Fray will perform in the University of Wyoming College of Arts and Sciences auditorium Saturday, Nov. 21, at 8 p.m.
Student tickets, limited to two tickets per valid student ID, go on sale Thursday, Oct. 8, for $25. Tickets go on sale to the public Monday, Oct. 12, for $35. Tickets can be purchased at the Wyoming Union information desk, the Fine Arts box office, by phone at (307) 766-6666 or online at www.uwyo.edu/finearts.
"We encourage students to purchase tickets before they go on sale to the public," says Michael Lange, coordinator of Student Activities Programs.
The Denver-based band achieved national prominence with hit-singles such as "Over My Head (Cable Car)," "How To Save A Life" and "You Found Me."
I jammed up the stairs to catch part of the Monotonix set during Neon Indian. The always energetic Israelis did not disappoint, playing wildly within the crowd, stealing hats and drinks and sharing glimpses of parts best left covered.
We caught part of the Dandy Warhols on the main stage and while I harbor fond memories of some of their tunes, the attitude of that band brings me down. Seeing them in person did not change my feelings.
Later in the day, back downstairs for the Twilight Sad, another Glasgow band. This involved skipping Health (I'm too old for that action) and Passion Pit (not willing to risk the disappointment after Sasquatch).
Last minute illness from MSTRKRFT put Phoenix on the main stage bill, snuggled nicely between the quite entertaining Redman and Methodman and headliners Mars Volta. The French pop masters took the bump up to the main stage with panache, fully owning Red Rocks and filling the place as full as I saw it all weekend. They sounded fantastic!
After all that fun, we left the photographer to the Mars Volta and headed for the beer and cheese sticks hiding in the parking lot cooler. Au revoir until next year, Monolith!
More Day Two photos follow:
Magic"? This man blends the musical superego and the id over and over again until you forget you don't really "appreciate" Journey and find yourself singing along at full volume.
After we all caught our breath and swept away the confetti, Karen O and company took the stage, starting their set with one of my favorites from the most recent LP, "Runaway". Mid-way through their 16 songs of awesomeness, the YYYs played "Date with the Night" and I need to be perfectly clear that not 24 hours prior I had demanded of the universe that I hear the lyrics "we're sweatin' in the winter" live. Thank you, universe.
Encore "Y Control" cemented their place in my heart as one of the best live bands working today. The visuals of Karen O in couture striking kabuki poses across the stage while Nick Zinner and his hair represent the stoic side of punk are a spectacle worthy of your ticket dollars.
And while we're talking about the silent Mr. Zinner allow me to postulate a long-simmering theory... a lot of people, a lot of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' most fervent fans especially, and I include myself here, embrace Karen O's lyrics, loudness, broad smile and sexual lyrics. Her guttural groans and moans remind me of Prince, a decidedly womanly barbaric yawp. And yet. Consider this: without Zinner's guitar there is no Yeah Yeah Yeahs. His shrieking strings cut past the vocals, the grunts, the synth to get down to the true bump and grind that makes rock and roll great. Almost a call and response of the loins, her lyrics, his guitar. That is all.
Please enjoy more photos below...
Then we were off to see Frightened Rabbit on the main stage. These Scots delivered the songs we wanted to hear, plaintively and somewhat plainly. I love this band, but they're a bit tentative for a venue like Red Rocks. More shows, more songs, and they'll be ready to bring the crowd to their feet.
Next up, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down. Again, I love this band and I love Thao's energy and her giant guitar and her cowboy boots, but the drizzle and the chill and the giant stage brought her down a bit. This set did not exude the same joie d'vivre as the one I saw from her at Sasquatch in 2008. The folks exuding during these main stage sets were the delightful troupe of Grand Teton National Park workers - shout out to that Wyoming drive!
At this point, my rain-soaked body required food, shelter, and a glass of wine, causing me to miss Pains of Being Pure at Heart, one of my most anticipated acts of the day. Sheesh, how can a librarian/ music fan not love a song like Young Adult Friction? Next time, PoBPaH, next time.
Replenished with string cheese and hooch, we made our way back out into the rain to see The Walkmen. Dang these guys always sound good. The Rat remains a modern classic. Their set, their black and gray outfits, the mist over Red Rocks, all delivered the indie rock goods. They left the Wyoming fans craving digital watches and sexy gloom.
As for the big guns on Saturday night, Girl Talk and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, more to come... and more photos from Day One below.
On his second date in the Front Range this weekend, Bon Iver led off on Sunday with the beautiful Flume and while I loved it, I worried about the mellow factor. No need for alarm as Justin Vernon and his band turned up the volume and re-arranged all the favorites from For Emma, Forever Ago in a way that no one could call "mellow". Creature Fear knocked the sold-out crowd's socks right off and we knew no one was falling asleep.
Even with the sweltering guitars, the lyrics from his indie torch song masterpiece proved more affecting that I anticipated. There are very few shows indeed where I tear up and feel truly heartsick over the music, but Sunday was one of those nights. Bon Iver's songs forgo cliche in favor of an emotional landscape that is muddy and slippery and true in some elemental way.
I knew I loved Skinny Love before the 3 person percussion was added, but I liked it loud in the live setting. And Blood Bank never really worked for me until this show and the Neil Young/ Crazy Horse encore treatment it received.
But getting back to those lyrics, man, they come at you when sung live to a hushed crowd. Re: Stacks topped my wishlist of songs to hear Sunday, and it topped my all-time list of amazing-gorgeous-powerful songs to hear live. Friends in the Pacific Northwest used to tell me about girls crying through Eliot Smith sets and I felt like one of those girls Sunday night. When it came time to sing along with Wolves (Act I and II), my quiet "what might have been lost" joined with what seemed like the rest of Boulder.
It took Bon Iver a long time to make it to the Rockies, let's hope he comes back. Soon.
Shout Out Louds looked and sounded good and put on nice set. Lykke Li, sadly, was not in full voice, so I abandoned her set part way through. I do plan to try to see her again, as I think the lack of vocal power was anomalous.
By far the biggest draw of the entire festival, Gothenburg native Hakan Hellstrom rallied the crowd of 25,000+ into a crazed singalong. I swear that I was one of only ten people who did not know every word to his songs. How to describe this Swedish singer in a sailor suit? Maybe a cross between Michael Franti and Wayne Newton? Check the video below to get a better idea of his show.
As a bonus to my stay in Gothenburg, Jose Gonzalez played a free show early in the week at the local Culture Fest. He sounded the best I've heard him, backed by the Gothenburg String Theory.
