Never been much of a fisherman but fly fishing is all the rage out here. And I can’t think of anything better than standing in a river, looking at mountains.

So I’m intrigued.

Perhaps you might try bouncing down that same river in a boat. CO's certainly a good place for that.

I was never into fly fishing until I started visiting Crested Butte a few years ago. Now, I can’t think of a better way to unplug than fly fishing in Colorado.

When I went to Colorado for the Brit Floyd concert at Red Rocks two years ago, we rode up to Dillon Reservoir up in Frisco Colorado. Great little town and it was our first morning in Co. Walked around the town and checked out the lake. Great experience.

I totally get why people want to live there. Its very clean, the people are super nice and its so beautiful. I just cant do cold so that would end it right there. Great place to visit and that lake was amazing. They were stocking the lake the day we were there. Small rainbows but they were mainly for food. The water is so cold in the lake, that nothing can grow init. No bugs or anything for the fish to eat. They have to basically feed them to survive. LOL. That is why I wont live there.
