Going to Colorado, What flies do you all recommend?

[Futzer 0]

Ok, My apologies Andrew and CoachBob, my post came off much more cantankerous than I meant it to. We are talking about my home turf, and places I have fished many, many days, hundreds even. We are talking about a couple of the most technical waters there are. Andrew I should have just said I was skeptical of a 20 yr old from Indiana fishing every weekend at 11 mile, vs. calling you a poser. I know a great many of the shop owners, shop rats, and guides in the state and I do get a bit wound up when someone who has not spent a great deal of time on Colorado rivers is an expert. That is my only point.

 

Cheers, Jeff.

it's alright, you have every right to be skeptical of me. I wasn't trying to sound like an expert because I am no where near being one, I just wanted to make a point that I am tracking the hatch and wanting to give as good of advice I could, I seined the water this past Saturday and was picking up some mayflies that haven't made it to a couple of the charts yet. For example the PMD and even some pheasant tail nymphs that have been taken off a couple of the charts. I have only lived here for 6 months so forgive me. I just wanted to give the info I had in case no one else gave it.

Well boys, I am finished tying for this trip. My fishing buddy came over and helped me knock out the last of my list. I know I will still have to buy some from the shops but that is okay. I love getting flies from elsewhere and then fishing them here. I will post some photos if I can get ahold of anything decent enough to take a picture of. Anyhow, I would like to thank everyone who posted and made a contribution.....
