I just got back from 10 days of fishing with my best fishing buddy, Bill, who lives in Fort Collins, Colorado. Had a fantastic time, and Bill did a great job playing the role of a “local guide” for me on his home waters. We fished the Big Thompson River, the Pouder River, and the middle Fork of the South Platte River. Most of the time I fished my 7′ 9″ 4 wt Signature Series bamboo or my 8′ 0″ 6 wt Fast Action Series bamboo. We caught fish on Trico Mayflies, BWO Comparaduns, Ants, and Hoppers. Here are a few random photos from our trip.
Beautiful fish beautiful rivers. I’d like to have some close ups of your rods and reels. I was stationed in FT. CARSON. While I was there I fished the l Arkansas river I also fished a state park near cripple creek. I did pretty well. Took some of the fish back to the mess hall. My dad built bamboo fly rods but he died before I was 15 I never got to learn how.
Hi Michael. Hey, it’s been a while! Hope all is well with you. Gotta ask…when you ask that you would like to have some closeups of my rods and reels, what might you use them for?
