Last Saturday I was sightseeing with my daughter and drove a big loop out of Denver. From Leadville to Johnson Village, through Hartsel, and back to Denver. Man I wished I had a fly rod. So much great looking, small water. I would love to explore that area some day.

Stunning!!!

What a bucket list trip for sure. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful setting at the base of the hills for sure!

Based on that fourth pic, it doesn't look as bad as some years.

I love everything about this! From the drive through the country, to the fish, to the lack of wind :giggle:!

My Scadden Escape is the best frameless inflatable I have used. As Wayne said, all different types have their place. But for what you describe my favorite has been a Bucks Southfork. Deck on the back for stuff, able to mount electronics if you wish, can fin around, add a padded seat and your...

Looks great! Thread and epoxy work is really clean!
