I've floated that river. Beautiful place. So did you catch fish?

no fish were caught. only rocks, trees, twigs, and buzzes.

I chased a whole bunch of little ones with the fly rod...no luck, though. As pb24ss mentioned, a few rocks and bushes were caught. We couldn't have asked for a better November weekend. I was fishing in shorts and t-shirt on Saturday.

The Poudre River Valley is a wonderful playground in my backyard. Unfortunately, the river is now seriously threatened by the Glade Reservoir Project. Every signature helps.

I've also enjoyed the Pooter. Fished and camped along it back when I lived in Boulder. Just wish I knew about buses back then....would have added to my fun :bounce:
