Fishing in Colorado

My brother has a piece of land near South Fork. Just east of the Wolf Creek ski area, near the banks of the Rio Grande and a short distance from numerous trout streams and mountain lakes. We enjoyed 3 days of summer fly fishing. We met a cousin who was vacationing there from the Baltimore, Maryland area. Other than a few casts a few years earlier, this was my first real introduction to fly fishing. The water was low and fishing was a bit sub-par, but we did have some luck in a few of the lakes. It was very relaxing and does interest me in pursuing the hobby a bit more. It helped that the weather was near-perfect. I don't know how well I would respond in less-than ideal weather. I am a sissy when the weather is cold. Tying those flies to my line is challenging even in the best of weather. My brother was very helpful and very understanding when I broke his rod (fortunately not the good one, which he had the foresight not to place it in my hands).
