How lucky I am to have a set of clients dotted around the foothills. There is nothing better than being able to pull over and fish a little on Bear Creek or Clear Creek for a lunch break!
How handy it is!

North Fork yields some great Trout
So today was blocked off as a fishing day where I could take some time out to get the brain back in gear again....
I was thinking of all the spots to go and I finally decided Deckers. Online the flow looked great.
However, when I got to the river road, woah! brown water..urgh - clarity was terrible. Definitely snow melt or something (but check out the report)
So, I figured it was a lost cause and decided to turn right and head down river and explore the Platte River Road, to where the North Fork joins and then to follow the north fork to Foxton and Buffalo Creek.
What I found was a North Fork that was very fishable - much clearer waters!
So, with the sun out, and mostly no wind, I managed to catch 6 great trout including 2 mature browns that really were fighters.
Aaahhh - I feel so much better now!

Re-discovering music
It seems that I stopped following the charts at around 25.. basically when I got my first job.
So, thanks to my Son who is now 12 (going on 15.. )who wants Dad to listen to the local rap / hip-hop radio stations as we drive to scouts and swimming.... its with great surprise really that I am fining out that there really is good music around!! I thought good music stopped in the 80s..? (oops what an admission)
Anyway - here's my favs :>
Black Eyed Peas and this

Lilly Allen
La Roux - well i think she is from 1987 personally - just watch the music video.. 1987..surely?
