I envy you!Ahh..good point Fly2Fish. South Fork of the Snake is my home water.
Now that you mention it, the Yampa should be on the list. I have only fished it once and didn't care for it much, mainly due to over crowding, it is real popular with the locals and it is a beautiful tailwater. I was there on a Friday and was totally surprised at how busy it was. I like fishing in a little less crowded situations.The Frying Pan would be my favorite because of your chances of catching a large trout for quite a few miles downstream, but i'm surprised the Yampa didnt make the cut, great tailwater, but still heavy pressure like all.
Hitting the Pan or Roaring Fork during the Green Drake hatch can be some awesome fishing.I chose the Frying Pan as that is the only one of those rivers I have fished. Also, I prefer to wade and it is wade only on the Pan. I hit the Green Drake hatch for several days this year and it was a religious experience. Plenty of willing fish on big dries. I do want to hit all of the others at one point or another.
