Old Frat,
Im jealous that you live in Colorado. I was there in July Taylor Park area in the Gunnsion national park. It was so beautiful. that is where I tried fly fishing for the first time. I fell in love with Colorado and fly fishing all in the same week and cant wait to get back. I cried a little when we left.

I think what I might end up doing is just buying a cheap pair of boots from Wally world to use when Im not using waders, basically just a pair of shoes I can ruin and not feel bad about. Then when I need to get some waders I will size them with wading boots, Boots and waders probably wont be used much unless I fish all through the winter. which I might.
Thanks for all the advice
David
