Colorado......Kids






















Last saturday i drove over to colorado to pay a visit to my kids. i am here for the week and leave again come saturday. i was hoping to get in some fishing while i was here and was really hoping to hit grape creek but that didn't pan out so i stayed close and hit the arkansas while the kids were in school. all week the weather was in the 50's and according to the local fly shop midge and a few baetis dries were fishing well on top, with plenty of risers to be found. well i got up this morning with high hopes of chucking streamers and throwing some dries in the spring like weather. as my luck would have it a storm came in last night and i woke up to snow and freezing temps. ain't that a bitch.....never seems to fail. i did throw some streamers and did some nymphing but couldn't even muster up a hit. other then the geese and the ducks there didn't seem to be any life on/in the river. didn't even see any of the usually abundant crawdads. hopefully next time i come to visit i will get to do somemore fishing
