The fishing in the fall on the South Platte River is perhaps some of the best in the country. This will be a great oppurtunity to share some time on the river before work begins at the show. The party Tuesday night is going to be awesome as well. The Crystola Bar is a very cool place. I hope to see you there and email me if you have any questions.
