Over all, it is a problem that I wish I had more often - as do the rest of us. And thanks for your input so far, I appreciate it.
The general game plan is to wait to see what is in prime shape, and plan around from there, by staying in central regions, and fishing out from there; such as find a spot in the Basalt area and fish the Roaring Fork and the Frying Pan and tribs for a while. I usually like the attitude, don’t leave fish, to find fish… but yet I will want to see new and exciting places.
But in trying to seek out a new place, I wouldn’t want to leave good a good area and end up in Yellowstone with a million of my new found “friends” who are clueless and end up high or low holing me, finding myself in situations like Gig mentioned, which is the basis of my inquiry. Would that be the same situation at the $3 dollar bridge?
The original plan was to do something like PT/TB mentioned, but backwards, with a little Silver Creek as a cherry on top before heading back to the Bay Area. At first 3 weeks seemed like a good amount of time, now that I am thinking about it, 3 years would be better suited for this. So we have to pick and choose and I don’t want to spend a third of our time in a car.
Last I checked the snowpack in these states are running at 100 to 110%, but the temps will dictate how fast it melts. And we do want to fish both big and small waters. I’ll have light 4wt thru fast 7wt rods with me.
I do not and would not want anyone to give out the good small stream names on forums for obvious reasons. I do have good books for the big guys with access points, but the small streams do seem endless…
PT, I have already checked out your site, and will continue to do so. The vise (and all my vices) will be thrown in the car.
