I'm sure this is a common question, but I'm heading to Colorado (Colorado Springs to be exact)around May 25-30 and was wondering if anyone had any advice. Me and my crew are a bunch of southern boys. So for us fishing = spinning reels and plastic worms. I've done a little background research and have decided the best route is to invest some ultralight spinning equipment (since we don't have the time to learn how to use a fly reel) along with some small spinners and possibly using the casting bubble/dry fly combo (which is hard to find around here).
I've been to Rocky Mountain National Park, but never fished there. So I guess that's the most likely destination to both enjoy some great scenery and trout fishing. But if there's some better places to go, by all means let me know. If anyone has recommendations on particulars with the type of spinners or dry flies to use, let me know. Also if anyone has any recommendations on good fishing locations in the park let me know. I'm willing to walk to get away from the crowds. But would prefer trails of around 1.5 miles or less since we've only got one day to get it all in. All in all I'm heading into this pretty clueless. Thanks in advance for any help.
