Ok,
So, back in May, my buddies about beat me senseless because I didn't bother to bring a fly rod w/ me to Denver. Didn't matter, I tried to explain, I didn't have a car, I'm staying in *downtown* Denver (just off of the 16th Street mall), they wouldn't listen, threatened to string me up if I didn't take a fly rod w/ me this time.
So.... I get away from the office this afternoon, beat it down to REI's rental department, because they sell 5-day out-of-state fishing licenses there. Hit the Platte.....
I swear that you can't prove it by me that there's a fish in that river.
I never saw anything.... not even talking about rises or shadows hiding in front of boulders at runs... I never even saw minnow schools in the shallows! All I saw were birds... ducks and swifts, and cave swallows and pigeons....
SO!
Anyone have any clue where, *within Denver itself*, there might be a fish? (Aside from the tank at Bass Pro, that is.... ) Yeah, everyone says head for Frying Pan, etc., but I've not got the time, or a rental, to get out away from the city. 8 to 5 the next two days, and I fly home Friday morning.... that means, Thursday, somewhere along noon, I'll be able to cut loose and get wherever I can get to on foot or by bus.
Thoughts?????
