All, we have just made the cross country move from cincinnati to northern Colorado. :D Looking forward to getting out on the poudre and big thompson river inthe next couple weeks. Any recommendations for patterns for the poudre?

Any recommendation for sections of the river to try out?

I bet DUBBN may have some suggestions, as he lives in Colorado.You could also search his posts and study some of his fly patterns.

Welcome to Colorado! :)

Heres a few Soft Hackles that will work on your side of the divide. My buddy lives in Westminster and fishes those areas.

Ice Breaker..Sorry, I can't find my picture of it. Heres a link. I do not tie it with a bead

Peacock and Partridge sizes 18 to 10..Different variations aswell

A variety of Hares ears

Throw in a Pheasant tail SH and you should be fine.

If you havent already, bookmark Charlies page.

Don't forget about Clear Creek, and Bear creek.

Get in touch with a few local fly shops for up to date flows and patterns.

Perhaps we will meet some time on my side of the divide, and fish the Colorado, or Roaring Fork together.

Again, welcome.

Thanks Dubbn. Appreciate the advice. Actually was at Charlies last weekend while visiting in-laws in Arvada. Awesome Shop!

I am truly blessed to be able to live in such a magnificent space. My wife is a Denver native and with my job, i can live anywhere in the US.
