Hello all. My name is Jeff and I just registered on to this site. I've been looking this site over for about a week now, and I just love what I'm seeing here. Hope I can offer some value to this forum.

I live in Castle Rock, Colorado and make annual trips to MN, WI, and ONT. fishing mainly for Muskies. I grew up in Chicago, and have been in CO for 28 years. My Grandpa use to have a place in central Wisconsin for many years where I would spend my summers fishing, and duck and deer hunting in the fall. (God how I miss those days). I've been married for 20 years now, and have a 12 year old daughter.

Didn't mean to get so long winded here.

Any help I can give to anyone heading west, feel free to ask

Welcome and thanks for the invite to hunt elk with you this fall

[Jeffrey]

Thanks DonBo, I can take you to my Elk spots, but then I would have to tie you a tree and leave you there. LOL

[Sandmannd]

Welcome to the addiction Jeff. Look forward to sharing info with you. I might have to join DonBo on that Elk hunt.

Jeffrey, Welcome to FM. This might be a stupid question but Do you ride snowmobile out in Colorado?? If so we might need to talk

[Deitz Dittrich]

LOL, Bring on more Colorado people... Great to have you with us!

[boatfixer]

Jeffery, Did you ever do business with Ken at Castle Rock Marine? He no longer has it now, but he is a good friend of mine. I worked with him awhile when I lived out on the front range.

welcome Jeff

- I may pick your brain a bit - later on. I head west a lot and may be looking for some good spots, mybe in the Jackson Hole Wy area.

Do you know anything about that area?

[jwhjr]

Welcome to the site, great to have you!

[bassNspear]

Welcome to FM Jeff. Glad to have you aboard.

Welcome to FM Jeff! I lived in Avon, CO for 5 years, moving back to MN 3 years ago. I still make the trek to CO each fall for the 3rd rifle season to chase elk, glad to have another elk hunter in the group

[Surface Tension]

Jeffery good to have you here.

I don't have any plans to head out west but remember years ago driving though CO with non fishing folks. Stopping to fish was out of the question. All that nice water and had to drive by it.

[Jeffrey]

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Glad to be on board.

reelemin - I know a little bit about Jackson Hole. I take my family up there every couple of years or so on vaca. Flat Creek runs through the Elk Refuge just outside of town, but does not open untill Aug. 1st for fishing (I belive that is still true)that is some of the best dry fly fishing for very large cutthrout trout you may ever find. Plus all of the other places to fish as well. Too many to list here. Awsome place.

boatfixer - I had been in Kens shop several times, but I did not know him. The building he was in is still for sale, I drive by it every morning to work. I bought my boat at another place in Denver.

centralbass - I don't ride snow machines too much anymore, not enough time I guess. Great places to rent / ride in the Granby, CO area however.

Thanks again all,

Jeff

My father lives in Castle Rock, Co. Small world. I like the town very much, I used to visit a couple times a year. Now that I am a parent though, I travel less frequently. Welcome to the site and good luck fishing this year!

[Shack]

Welcome Jeff.

Thanks

[boatfixer]

Which one Jeff? I know several and worked at a couple.

Boatfixer - Aurora Marine. Bought a 2003 Lund Angler w/ 70 Suzuki tiller 4 -stroker. Took delivery on it Dec. 20 , 2003 (Had to order from Lund in Oct.) Drove to Sydney, NB to Cabelas and dropped a couple of grand on some of the "nescessary" items that I needed to rig the boat with, then proceeded to rig everything, including X-Mas day, to have the boat ready for it's maiden voyage on Jan. 1, 04. Was on the water by 9:00 a.m. that morning at Pueblo Res., which is about 90 miles south of me.

I was so exicted that week I couldn't stand it!

[boatfixer]

I knew Don and I worked with a tech named Todd H. at another dealership, that works or worked there.
