Posts: 185 08/29/2008 19:59	Tags : None The Missus and I are headed to Boulder next week to visit our new grandson. She's staying three days and then heading back home, and I'm staying a few more days in order to get a little additional cuddle time with the little fella. I'm planning on taking either my 8040 Granger Special or the 8642 Granger Favorite. I'll definitely drive up to Lyons to visit royalwulff and The Pink Panther at South Creek Ltd. - that might be a nice little outing for little Mack, too (never too early to get them started). With luck, I'll be able to fish a bit in Boulder and also get out for at least two half days of fishing. What I'd like find out from any of you who know the area is what flies should I be tying up over the next few days? I've got some time to reload my fly box, but I'm not sure what the basic menu is during the late summer in Colorado. I assume I'll be spending most of my time on Boulder Creek, the St. Vrain, and maybe another stream in the area. I'm also sure I'll buy a few of AK's flies when I get to Lyons, but I'm not sure I want to fish them or mount them. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dean "I used to be clueless, but I've turned that situation around 360 degrees."

It's called the Wilcox's JC Special Pheasant Tail. Size 14 or 16 are amazing all-purpose dry flies. If you need to buy them in Boulder, McGuckin's hardware sells them. I was fishing one today. It kept working, even after the fish had chewed its legs off. http://store.wileysflies....l-pheasanttailsize14.aspx Here's what South Boulder Creek looked like today:

Posts: 186 08/29/2008 22:58	Thanks, guys! Looks like I'm OK with many of the suggestions. Kai - that fly looks like the Swiss Army Knife of flies! There's a little bit of everything in that one. I'll pick up a few when I get to Boulder. Thanks again! Dean "I used to be clueless, but I've turned that situation around 360 degrees."
