For people getting ready for their Colorado fishing trips, there are several things to keep in mind. Before the trip, you might want to ask your guide for advice specific to the location and weather conditions. Here are some general things to keep in mind, no matter what your fly fishing spot will be. Practice Casting This is the best thing you can do to prepare. If you are new to fly fishing or have not practiced for a long time, you trip might yield little results and not be as enjoyable as you expected. During the trip, you should be able to cast the fly where the guide instructs you and do so the first time around. No matter how much reading on the subject you do, it will not provide as much benefit as practicing. Place some targets on the lawn and try to throw yarn at them. The more you do it, the better you will get. In addition, this will give you a good idea of what condition your equipment is in and if anything needs to be fixed or replaced before your fly fishing trip. Dress Appropriately Check the weather forecast ahead of time and make sure you dress for the conditions. If you are not sure how things will be on the river, ask the guide. Bringing a raincoat and a sunblock is always a good idea. Hydration is important, so bring some water with you. Even if your guide will provide you with something to drink, it is not a bad idea to have extra. Talk to the Guide Be sure you know exactly what is expected of you and what you are supposed to bring for the trip. Some guides on Colorado fishing trips will provide you with a meal, while others will ask you to bring your own. Some will have the flies, and others will say it is your responsibility. Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park fly fishing are at their best with the Estes Angler. (http://www.estesangler.com/)
