thanks for the reply! I have a float tube. as for a boat - I sometimes go with a couple friends, but do more float or shore fishing than anything lately.
the western slope I definitely know very well, having lived in grand junction for quite a while. I love taylor and blue mesa res. Caught some nice pike and lakers there in the past.
I've found the shore fishing on horseshoe very limited. so much of it is entrapped with brush and high weeds, etc. It seems a float tube is almost a necessity there. there are some nice tigers in there, but I haven't hooked into a smallie there yet. having limited tiger fisheries here in colorado I guess I always cast for them at horseshoe.
I'll have to try out the smallie fishing there soon. my nephew is moving back from maine as we speak and I plan to take him there for some float tubing.
I'll definitely check out south platte since I fly fish also. thanks for the tip.
by the way, if you're deployed in baghdad make sure and take care of yourself! I have a friend that recently got medivac'd out of iraq, so I definitely respect all that you guys do over there. oh, and watch out for those huge and creepy camel spiders! [shocked] man, those things are freaky...
