Ok C-man you keep teasing us on how good it is living in the mountains, will I am a city boy and I think I have you beat. Here are just a few things that I have that you know nothing about.....

1. Smog, love the sweet smell and the wonderful brown cloud that comes with it.
2. Rush hour traffic, you should try it sometime, what a relaxing time just before you get to work or home.
3. Veggies bought from any store, I can just taste the chemicals thinking about it.
4. Wonderful neighbors, great being stacked together like sardines.
5. Excel Energy, great having a rate hike shoved up your ass every year.

That's just 5 quick reasons why I have it better than you. Oh, forgot fishing, I can catch carp all day long in the S. Platte as it runs through Denver. They don't even glow yet.

Nice fish Bud. That first one was a Mackinaw kolah. It's a member of the brook trout family. Those things get big sitting in 40 to 50 feet of water. They do cruise the shore line at ice off and you can catch them from the bank for a couple of weeks.

Taking a quick trip to the hills today and will try for a few browns on a dry fly if I can get them to rise. After the storm we just had and with the bright sun on the water I'm hoping for and early caddis hatch about noon or so. Until they start to come up I will be sitting on the bank token chem #4. Has to be a quick trip, busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest right now.

I about fell outta my chair laughing reading this, brother- those are just some of the reasons I got the hell out of Denver, baby GO! I remember the fish people would pull out of the Platte; I wouldn't eat them, but then I prefer the fragrance of diesel in my weed more than my fish...

Ft Collins is by no means the mountain country, but on the other hand it's nowhere near the big city ratrace- and it's a short drive to either one. Plus, you can ride your bike to some pretty decent fishing, whether you like bass in the lakes or trout in the Poudre.

Have you ever checked out McMurray Lake and fished for bass up there? It is pretty close to Jax on College... That was my go to spot for bass when I lived up there a few years ago...

I just love to fly cast. It comes naturely to me. Very accurate. Back when we were kids we would raise hell by flnging mud balls at neighbors houses and other selected targets. We got long branches from plum trees that were like flyrods, mold clay like mud on end and fling away. Could fling a mud ball 100 yards. It was fun as hell listening for the thud as it hit a roof. We would mold fire crackers at nite for an arreal assault. Someone put fartin Martins eye out with a lime...
