fishnhunt, Although I now live in Loveland OH I lived for 10 years in Cosprings and Lakewood Co respectfully. I loved to fish the Platte and the small beaver ponds on the Continental Divide! I never had much success in the lakes around Woodland Park but always enjoyed having fun getting out. good luck with getting a group together. We had our first "meet" in May of this year here in OH and we had 50 some people!

Are you a sportsman? More importantly are you a
fisherman. It appears that there are not many by the lack of posts on the BB. I can't believe that there is no interest in getting together on this thread and talking about our great fisheries here in CO. I know other guys have tried to get this going with no responses. It is
evident that most of us are just Wannabe fishers
that don't really care to get out on the water??
If this isn't true---prove me wrong!! <!--graemlin::eek:--> <!--graemlin::p--> <!--graemlin::D-->

Fish as long as you can and then hunt the rest of the time!! <!--graemlin:;)-->

BasserW---Good to see your reply. Fishin is still great in Colorado Ifish most of the rivers when I can also Blue mesa for Lakers and Kokes.
Eleven Mile for northerns, kokes and trout.Also like to fish pueblo for Eyes and Bass. It really does not seem to be a concensus of interest to get a State group started here <!--graemlin::confused:--> as there are enough members of NAFC to get a good club
going. I envy you guys in OH as I know you have a great group. Wish I could have dropped in at your GT. from all the posts it sounds like ya all had a great time!! <!--graemlin::D--> <!--graemlin:;)--> <!--graemlin::cool:-->

We live in southern Colorado. Lathrop State Park(Walsenburg)has a sportsmen's lake. Great for Muskie, Rainbows, Steelhead and Bass. Great views also. Family also likes to take the boat to Pueblo and Blue Mesa.

Hi LVM--- Glad ta have ya on Board!! It's about time that we got a little interest in this thread. We fish Blue Mesa, Pueblo and 11 Mile a lot. Never have had the opportunity to fish Lathrop <!--graemlin::(--> but will have to try it. Probably won't get to it tilllater as e are getting lined up for Deer and Elk come 20-28 Oct. We drew both for area 54 so looking forward
to that.Maybe we can hook up for a little fishin before winter!! What do you fish for?? And do you ever fish Navajho? Only fished there
a few times but sure did enjoy it. Stay in touch and maybe we can get more interested people on here. Drop me a PM or an Email if you like! Take Care and good fishin.

fishnhunt,

Yes, it doesn't seem to be much interst in the BB. But, when I lived there I didn't spend any time sitting indoors!

Hi Basser--Good to see ya on the BB. I'm Just catching up to all this new setup. Haven't figured it out yet,but getting there slow but sure. Stay in touch so  that us Mountaineers can see how you Buckeyes are doing. Maybe it will draw some interest around here! LOL!! Take care! And good fishin.

Fishnhunt,

I am glad to see that your Hospital stay is over and you are back among the walking!  I do hope everything is alright and you will soon again be out tromping them tar hills!  I loved watching the buffalos whomp them Nebraska Cornhuskers yesterday!  Now if they can win one more game thier season will be a good one.  Everything is doing pretty good here in OH although there doesn't seem to be much action over on our states section??????  I hope that improves.  Take care and tight lines to ya!  Don't catch all those trout out of the river up there near Woodland Park Co that's where I used to fish! 

I look forward to the time when we can share a fishing hole together.  I don't get to travel to much (wife's health is bad) but iffen I do I will be sure to look you up.  I used to love to fish the beaver dams up on the conentinetal divide It was a drive for us even when we lived in Denver.  Is the South Platte still a trophy trout water?

Well I noticed the last post here was in January, so I hope that months later there will still be some fellow anglers around to read and respond.  I live in the Grand Junction and I love it.  There are so many great Gold Medal fisheries that are quickly reached.  Most of my fishing is done on rivers and streams with both a fly and spinning rod.  Although it is probably the furthest away for my, my favorite place to go catching is the Frying Pan River above Basalt.  For those of you who have fished there, you know what I'm talking about.  I have recently run into a little snag so to speak with my fishing.  I have developed an overwhelming urge to fish for giant carp with my fly pole.  I catch a lot of flak when I share this with most people.  But hold on here friends, when you think about it, what is the difference between carp and the ever popular bonefish.  Far as I can tell, it is just the warm weather on the beach.  Well sort of.  If any of you share my interest to chase these trash fish, or could even point me in the right direction to go catching near Grand Junction, I would appreciate it very much
