Denver fishing?
 
Heading up on a business trip the week of 5/11.

Will be in town all week, and the schedule will be mostly full 9-5/Mon-Fri,
but how about close to the city for evening fishing?

Will try to get there early on Sunday to get a mostly full day in, where
must I fish?

Sawhill ponds near Boulder might be good by then.

From what I read on the net, CO is lousy with FF ops, but it looks like all
the famous hot spots are at least a 2 hr drive:

Also, try googling 'fly fishing denver' for closer locales.

Tim,
Go fishing with the man, if you can find the time. He's one of the most
avid, appreciative-of-surroundings and inquisitive anglers I've fished with.
You will both enjoy the outing!! Mike, how do you want your trout
prepared?g

Tom

Hi Tom,

I'm definitely game. I think the problem might be runoff. There's a
lot of snow in the hills this year. I *like* fishing the runoff and
usually do well on the edges, though it's hardly what people expect.

Mike stay in touch and, if you're game, let's hit it.

In fact, I did not know that, but it's fun to learn it and read about
it. Will need to tie up a few. I'd suggest that, if the mother of all
stonefly nymphs is the finn, the mother in law of all stonefly nymphs
on the arkansas in colorado is ed valdez' golden stone. The secret is
in the dubbin...

Your pal,

Tim
