Robert Maloit with his father, Frank, and their catch taken from the Upper Homestake in 1932. There are 34 Native trout in the string, from 10 to 17.5 inches long and weighing 1/3 to 2 lbs. each. They were caught in a little more than 2 and a half hours. They dressed out the fish, packing them in fresh grass in two creels. It was an 8 mile hike to and from Gold Park, so the hike out carrying 15 lbs. of fish each, poles, and hip boots was demanding....

Robert with an 18.5 in. Native trout that weighed just over 2.5 lbs. and appeared in a Denver Post newspaper spread. It was caught in the pool on Cross Creek which was created for water intake for Minturn's water supply.
