The Poudre River, west of Fort Collins has a special place in my heart. I've spent far more days on it than any other river, so in a way, I consider it my home for fly fishing. I was recently back home in Colorado and my dad, brother, my long-time fishing buddy Caleb, and I were able to find the time to meet up on the Poudre for a day.
I'll say first off that we're not talking about the most productive trout water in Colorado to begin with. You have to work pretty hard to just avoid getting shut out on an average day. Add to that, the wind storm that was literally knocking trees over on our drive out, multiple snow flurries, and water freezing in the rod guides. I expected the worst, but in the end, things came together and it turned out to be one of the best fishing days on the Poudre that we've ever had.
