I would have posted this on the off topic board, but I'm looking specifically for a fly fishing mentor.  I'm sure the moderators will move it if they see fit...  Anyways, I'm looking for a someone who wants to share some of their knowledge and experience with a young novice.  My ideal partner would be an older experienced fly fisherman, someone who wants to give a few minutes of instruction here and there, and answer a few questions now and then, in exchange for me lugging the extra gear around (water, lunch, anything else you'd like to have but would rather not carry yourself).  I have a few friends that have been tutoring me a little, but they all have lives that keep them much busier then me.  If your interested PM me or email me at [email protected]

if you want to float the colorado saturday I would be happy to give you some pointers...but currently I am working on rowing but its good guide practice for me. The river is running dark so I cant promise you a whole lot of fish but what I can do is show you some likely holes and areas that fish well and how to fish it. I can pick that river apart if I'm the guy fishing and someone is rowing, but it's differant for me being behind the oars now.

Hey TL,
What part of the state do you live in? I fish the South Platte and the Arkansas. I fish once a week year round. I used to guide the SP. I'm always looking for fishing buddies. I usually fish on Mondays or Tuesdays but can if forced to fish on a regular weekend. Sun-Tues are my weekends. I'm going tomorrow to 11 mile canyon. I have a blue Dakota,I'll be dressed like an Orvis advertisment (I get 30-40% off)but I wear a hat with a SIMMS fish on it. IM me for my addy.

I live in Denver, but have family in Bailey that I regularly visit. My availability is kinda strange but very open. I work 3pm to 3am six days in a row, and then I have 8 days off. I'm willing to travel an hour or so to meet up/fish. I have only a motorcycle for transportaion, so my ability to bring lots of gear is limited. I'm very green, and willing to learn anything on any water. My rod is an 8 1/2 ft 5wt if that's helpful. I can't tell you how excited I am to get responses! I figured I'd get alot of people sypathizing and not many offers.
