So double update for the day. Finished the fly fishing school on Sunday afternoon with St. Pete's. While the first day was very informative and fully eye opening the 'on the river' day was a total disappointment. Most of the information was good, but the actual instruction was boring. Most of the stuff I had already figured out with trial and error. also they acted like we were getting a guided service, when in reality the instructors definitely didn't want to get us into any fish. short time and new people usually means limited chances, but I imagined a bit better day for us. On the up side I tried out some nice waders and am totally convinced that they are worth it.
disaster two was fishing on the poudre river tonight. Took the wife and the boxer dogs. Was not a good idea. Grabbed some sandwiches and at the first location the water was very high and fast. Good drifting practice, but no takes. At Indian Meadows the Mosquitoes came out. Within half an hour we were all covered in swarming bugs. So the dogs started barking little wimpy chirps in distress and the wife was doing a little anti mosquito dance. So sometimes fishing in the mid week is not a good idea.
