Hi and Happy New Year! I haven't been on the forum in quite a while due to lots of personal things going on (moving, divorce, 2 major hip surgeries) but I wanted to say hello and wish everyone all the best luck this year.
I've been in Colorado for a year and a half now and I really love it after 31 years in the Northeast to start my life. My only complaint is I miss the Northeast rivers in terms of the geography and how you fish them. Out here everybody uses nymphs all the time! I'm a streamer fisherman and those work much better on the bigger water out here. The good news is that I picked up a drift boat recently and will have access to whatever I want this year! This is the boat I bought:

I went with the plastic hull since it's a lot more durable than fiberglass and I tend to USE my gear.
My normal yearly trip with buddies to the North Maine Woods or Downeast Maine has been moved to the West this year so unfortunately I won't get the chance to pull some big fish out of Maine.
