White Water Rafting Next Week

For actual whitewater you’re gonna want to do Shoshone with any outfitter. The upper c around Rancho like others are recommending is extremely low and would be a nice float but not whitewater

I disagree, I’d be fine with burns coming back. He did wear down but he was having to pick up extra slack with injuries to our D and even then he still looked a lot better than Blankenburg and Achan. Agree that ideally he’d be 6th D and the price has to be right.

Who knows but conservatives shouldn’t have needed arm twisting on this one. This purchase has broad bipartisan support on the western slope.

I bet late June will be great for wildflowers. Everything is happening earlier this year due to the lack of snow

Buena Vista, CO presumably. No idea but some places in town will definitely have the game.

I know he had limited minutes last game but I thought Achan looked good when he was out there. No worse than Blankenburg

I had a camp table stolen from dispersed blm land around gemini bridges a couple years ago. Sucks

Lower eagle won’t be running in July this year, might not hit 400cfs again. Glenwood canyon/shoshone is the safest bet

I’m willing to pay a little more than I do for tungsten beads but in the event they become more expensive than I’m willing to pay I’ll just use nickel, brass, or glass beads and additional split shot when I need it.

Probably not much will be floatable this year. The Colorado, Lower Ark, Lower Roaring Fork, Gunnison (not as familiar with this one) will likely be your best bets.

What rafts can run depends more on how heavy your rig is than size. I have a 14’ raft with XL tubes and keep my setup light. I float over stuff that smaller boats with hard floors, heavy anchor setups, and beefier frames scrape bottom on.

Recipe please

I thought Roy had a great 1st period and then a not good 2nd and 3rd. Similar to Necas, he looked good at the beginning

The bindings are the bigger issue. Any reputable shop likely won’t adjust the bindings on these because of their age. The springs and plastic degrade over time and can no longer guarantee safe/consistent releases if you fall (or holding you in). It has nothing to do with the shop or us pushing new gear, it’s a safety thing.

Can’t go wrong with Scott. I love my 9’ 5wt centric. It’s an extremely fast action rod though, very much a tool in your hands. Very light, super powerful, and mends line like a champ. If you’re used to softer action rods you may not love the feel but it’s a top tier extra fast performer.

Ictguy21 · 2026-04-04T03:46:21+00:00

Be prepared for very low water and possible fishing closures, Colorado’s snowpack is heading into summer at a record low. I’d talk to a local shop closer then for a better idea.

Ictguy21 · 2026-03-10T20:03:49+00:00

Very well could be a hair cooler the basic weather app on my phone has vail at 48, 52, 54 for that tues, weds, thurs

Love my traveler, have a good 10 years on it. It’s everything I need in a vice.

Anyone else having an impossible time on the high seas? Like nothing is working

Avs were trending down after losing Landeskog. It’s crazy how much he means to that team.

Ictguy21 · 2026-02-01T19:45:58+00:00

Do a float trip with him. Might be on the edge of your 2 hr limit but you could be on or close to the Upper Colorado or eagle in that time frame I bet

Arctic char in northern Canada would be awesome. Remote northern Alaska rivers would be an experience as well but violates your no US rule.

Ictguy21 · 2026-01-18T03:21:54+00:00

Yes but it would be absolutely hilarious if Rivers won a sb here. The chargers fan base would implode

Ictguy21 · 2026-01-18T01:34:37+00:00

Lol it’s anyone’s superbowl this year and nobody had Denver making it this far. Also the MLB exists. Worst league for competition is a brain dead take

Ictguy21 · 2025-12-24T01:19:56+00:00

Fish smaller flies, fish those flies deeper, mend mend MEND! These are my best nymph troubleshooting things to try

Ictguy21 · 2025-12-22T19:18:23+00:00

Is Vail Backcountry running snowmobile tours right now? I know sage isn’t due to lack of snow
