Bamboo Fly Rod Fishing in Colorado

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.
