Bamboo fly rods are a treat to use, as are silk fly lines (they are quite complimentary to each other). The problems I'm facing here lately are finding good places to use either. Colorado has become so-overrun with new people that all the major rivers are simply packed, and in almost all-weather, with rafters, kayakers, fishing guides & sports, and all the other general nitwits. Maybe I'm becoming just another angry old man but...when I fish I do so for the perhaps-intangible benefits of the "quality" experience and it's getting pretty hard to do that on public water out here anymore. Private water seems to be the last vestige of such an experience and I'm having a hard time paying for what I had for free that was so-good for so very-long now. In the end, I'll probably pony up the cash as I do miss it. At least hunting hasn't been so darn over-run, at least not yet. Water is such a limited resource out here, especially "quality water".
