Re: [VFB] Upcoming Colorado Trip: Might try some of those trout things...

Wet flies, weighted streamers and weighted nymphs.  Gonna be lots of 
good stuff washing loose from the bottom, so the trout will spend more 
time there that up at the top.  Be super careful, what with the heavy 
rains and snow melt/runoff, the streams will be "blowing and going", 
according to my son who just returned from Grand Junction, CO.  With the 
muddy water you won't be able to see where you step and the extra 
current can knock you on your butt in a hurry.  I speak from experience 
there, and have the
T-Shirt, Cap, Patch and the broken leg to show for it.

Hi Everybody,

Just wanted to share and get some advice if possible. If all goes well, I'm 
going to be shooting out to Colorado Springs at the end of June for some trout 
fishing. I'm assuming I'll need waders. The smallest rod I have is a 6 wt (and 
I doubt my wife will let me by a smaller one). What type of flies do you 
suggest I bring? Most of what I tie is saltwater and warmwater but I can do a 
few trout flies, mainly: pt nymphs, grhe nymphs, EHC, winged ants, wooly 
buggers, and a few others. Any other things I should think about?

Thanks!

Ken
