Fly fishing around Boulder

[jackf]

Hey people,

I'm interested in learning to fly fish. I go to CU and obviously Boulder and the rest of colorado are great areas for that. I am just looking for some info on how much the equipment tends to cost, what I even need to buy to start off, and if anyone from the area knows of good shops that sell stuff at decent prices and might even have classes please lemme know.

There are currently no good places to fly fish in Boulder. That shows that it is a pretty intolerant town. However, if you head to Denver there are many good places to fly fish. Some of the most popular, and where you're certain to get the most bites, are Compound and Mo's. For a full listing, as well as tips on what to wear, the best times, etc, visithttp://www.denver.com/gay-bars?page=

if you are worried about price, you can get into it real cheap. you really only need a rod, reel, line and and handful of flies. you can buy beginner rod kits for less then a C note and they have everything you need except flies. and honestly they will work just fine compared to the expensive gear.

I feel the best way to learn is to watch someone else fish or some youtube videos to learn some general cast motions. Then you just want to spend as much time as you can with your rod in hand. If you go with someone, ask them as much as you can. you just need to get out there and get comfortable. But of course, if CU has a club, join it. That would be a great way to learn

It pretty much one of those sports where you are never really a professional. there is always new things to learn and days that you come home skunked. Thats why it can be so fun and addicting. You are always learning and improving.
