Just back in town, had a good time in Colorado, but unfortunately didn't get any fishing in, too much to see and too little time. Set up base in Cortez, Colorado on Monday the 18th at The Kelly Place B&B in McElmo Canyon, very quite if that is what you're looking for. On the 19th we visited Mesa Verde National Park to see the cliff dwellings the fire devestation is very severe got in 2 of the major dwellings Long House & Balcony House then hit Step House (self tour). The last time I was there was 19 years ago and it was beautiful, but thats all gone now and a 300 year old forest is gone to ashes. The Last full day I took my 9 yr old daughter horseback riding then headed t Durango fo the day it was fun, visited the COFFEE shop for that much needed COFFEE FIX and hit some neat shops. Had to visit the local fly fishing shop but the manager was a jerk and the prices for their flies were way out there. Popular patters that cost $1.25 to $1.75 at Hooked or Sportsmans were easily $3-4 and some patters pushing the $8 dollar barrier. I kept my hands in my pockets and my mouth shut as wer looked then boogied to a better plae to be. All in All it as a good short trip, but no fishing this time.

] Yep, vacation calls. Heading down though southern Utah to the Cortez Colorado area. Taking my flyrod and new reel going to test my luck on the Animas River It will be a short trip 3-4 days but I'm looking forward to trying other waters. Its been a long time since I've fished outside the state of Utah and I'm looking forward to it.
