Welcome, GoneFishin! I grew up in the high mountains for Colorado. Fishing was part of life where I grew up. Trout was our main targets. We had Rainbows, Browns, Brookies, and an occasional Cutthroat. As an adult I lived in various place around the USA and over the years learned to fish for Bass both largemouth and smallmouth, Catfish, Crappie, Carp (Yech), etc.
I traveled on a vacation up to Jasper following the Rocky Mountains all the way from central Colorado. Was a three-week camping trip back in 1976. Hope to get back their sometime, as the mountains get even more beautiful the further you go North. We also found the Canadian people to be warm and welcoming to Americans.
Glad you are hear....
