Denver’s a great town. You have lots of opportunities within a few hours driving distance if you want decent trout fishing. If you want to catch carp, the REI hole in town on the South Platte. It’s not the cleanest of rivers.
Take a cab or drive to Old Town Arvada, and visit Charlie Craven at Charlie’s Fly Box. You won’t find a more fly tying centric flyshop in the world. If Charlie’s not there, the guys there are more than helpful at getting you onto decent fish on any of the local rivers. They also run guide trips, and can get you info on the best lakes to hike into.
You can tell him I sent you.

Subject: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Denver Trip
Hi guys, Last I checked in, I was asking about poppers and nail polish. Worked like a charm!
I am planning a kinda last minute trip to Denver late August into early September. I am going with my lady friend so it should be a healthy mix of sightseeing, hiking, eating, and fishing. I am pretty new to fly fishing, but seem to be able to catch fish with my poor mechanics, but my girlfriend is a true novice. She has caught shad and bass, but doesn't have the casting down all that well. I am thinking with our lack of experience, a guide would be great for putting us on fish, but also helping teach a bit. I saw Dave Lovell was recommended and he seems willing to work with different skill levels. Does anybody else have any experience in Denver with a guide? Drift or wade trip?

I'd also like to do an overnight backpacking trip and it might be neat to hike to a lake to do some fishing. Probably less of a chance here, but if anybody has any recommendations...
Thanks as always for helping make a somewhat daunting sport, a little easier!
Cheers,
Gregg
