    Anybody have any recommendations for fly guides or spots in Boulder or Ft Collins CO?

    These aren't areas I've fished around, but we're doing college visits in early June, and I'd love to take the fam out.  Bonus points for fishing near the universities which would give our kid inspiration for fun things he could get out and do in college aside from gummies.  Oh, and studying.

    St Pete’s fly shop in Ft Collins will have guides and equipment available. Stop by the downtown location and get your gear and whatever flies they recommend and then you can drive up the poudre river canyon. There’s tons of pull out parking spots in all the likely fishing holes.

    All done. Almost everyone got laid off, I’d guess 90+% with a majority working on a transition team from anywhere from June-December.

    Lots of happy people as many receiving 2 years severance, 2 years bonuses, one year medical and all RSU’s.

    Man, that’s a win.

    Does this one fit the bill? I like the price, but is that because it’s 4 wt? I know nothing if that’s not obvious.  https://www.outlandusa.com/p/redington-490-4-crosswater-outfit-wcrosswater-reel-4wt-90-4pc

    That one should be fine! I don’t think 4 wt vs 5 wt makes a huge difference. 5 weight is the usual starting spot for a generalist rod but going down one shouldn’t be an issue for a beginner.

  4. What’s the thread wisdom on SBR/Pistol 300 BO uppers. Doing research it seems like Radian makes a badass one. So does Q, the honey badger.  The sig rattler also looks pretty dope. 
     

    Should I get a prebuilt complete upper or build one out? I’m thinking like a 9” hand guard, 10.5” barrel. 
     

    There’s also a huge price difference between the Gucci makers and then just putting together something like ballistic advantage or Aero. Is that cost difference just branding? How real is it on something that’s useful range is probably under a hundred yards? 
     

    Does the lower manufacturer make a big difference? People online act like Radians lowers are the end-all be all. But for 500 vs 80 for an aero what’s the real difference?
