Today I went on my first fly fishing trip for trout on the south platte in Colorado. I have never fly fished before and it was really windy, so casting was hard to pick up, and we had to use nymphs. It was very slow for the first hour or so and I missed the hookset on the few fish that bit my rig. Once I got the hang of it, though, I was hooked. I caught many rainbows and cutbows in the 6-10 inch range and I was having fun with them, then my guide put me on a great hole. I caught a pb 14 inch rainbow that was FAT! I was happy with that, but then I threw another cast to the same spot. I hooked another rainbow that fought me for 5 minutes. I beat my new record with this second fish-16-17 inches and quite the fatty too. The 5 minute fight didn't tire him out al the way, either, and he slithered out of my hand 3 times. Long story short, I am now addicted.

doesn't take much...and you live in incredible trout fishing country.  I would probably sell all my bass gear if i lived near water like you have in colorado.
