Friday Fishin - July 9th 2004

Hola Happy People! ;D

Again thank you all for the well wishes - you have no idea how much that helps!

My buddy Schwan and I are kickin around the idea of fishing tomorrow, somewhere between Lake George and Fairplay area - easy for you Springs guys - hint hint - but anyone who gets this is invited. I know I know, short notice but we have some time to kill and we havent thrown a line in ages. MIGHT even go up a few light trails. Anyone in? If we catch anything we can grill at the famous Uncle Bob's for just down the road in Florissant. Let me know - planning on leaving Denver around 12:30ish. And of course we'll be shooting video. For those of you who havent seen the UFO fishing trip - check out.... www.timberlinegroup.com/ufo/maxfishin.wmv

I am up and runnin with the fly fishing game. I just got me a nice cortland 8'6" 5/6 wt rod off of ebay for $37.50 and I found a nice reel at Glayans for $30. It is the click drag type but it should work fine. Now I just need to figure out the backer and line and I will be in there. I have been fishing a couple of times now with a borrowed pole and had a great time. I only fell in twice and broke the handle off of the borrowed reel once!! haha that was a scary slip. I thought I was going in the deep end of a waterfall when I broke the reel. I caught a VERY nice brown trout and a lot of brookies. We were fishing in Wyoming. It was a great time and I got some good pictures. I will have to share them when I get a chance to upload them. This fly fishing deal is a lot of fun. I am glad I decided to get into it.

Excellent - You gotta try to make it next time Schwan and I go. He cuts out of work early on Fridays ( Around 11:30 ) and we find a spot and hit it. We are going to try Waterton Canyon south of Denver near Chatfield Res. We gotta mountain bike to the upper canyon - should be fun - I don't know when we are going but everyones invited!!

I am loving the mountain biking scene now that I have a buddy to go with me. I bought a four bike rack for my jeep and it works great! It even fits with the oversized spare tire on my Jeep. I would love to accompany you on this adventure!! I don't have a pack rod but I have been looking at them on ebay. My roommate knows a guy that builds custom rods and he said I would get a good price on one if I told him what I wanted. That sounded pretty good to me!

I am completely set on the fly fishing scene now. I have waders, rod, reel, vest and some necessary tools to get the job done. Whenever anyone wants to do some fly fishing just drop me a line and I will join you. I a hooked on fly fishing now. I love it!!
