L.R. Wigram, city commissioner, caught a trout in one of the Grand Mesa lakes this week which weighed 6-1/2 pounds, and measured 24 inches in length. This is said to be the largest rainbow trout caught this season.

That big blue mountain is Grand Mesa.

When my brother and I were growing up we spent lots of time with our parents and grandparents who loved to fish.  We ‘went fishing’ on Grand Mesa mostly, but I think my brother would go with Granddad and they would ‘head-up the Muddy’ and go fishing.

When I saw this little news story in the August 22, 1913 Delta County Independent it brought back many happy memories of times with my dear parents and beloved grandparents.

Happy Fishing,

Linda

A horse belong to Edward Goddard took fright at a passing automobile on Delta’s Main street last Tuesday morning and raced around the corner of Main and Fifth with enough speed to cause everybody and everything to give undisputed right-of-way.  The buggy trailing behind the Goddard horse went over and was considerably wrecked before the race was concluded.
