My name is John Tarpey and I am a retired paratrooper. I love to fish and my favorite fish is the almight "Catfish".
I love relaxing on the bank or in a boat and waiting patiently for the bite. I currently live in Colorado but I am thinking of going back to Kansas so I can fish all the time.

Welcome to the forum John
I've caught some really nice ones at Dixon Reservoir in Fort Collins, below Horsetooth Res. I fished for some at Prospect Ponds by the Sheriff Department Larimer but they were small. I am retireing on March 31 and it's all out fishing from then on.
Have you ever fished Jackson Res., Sterling Res.,Cherry Creek Res.,or any of the lakes in and around Denver? All have some 3+++++ pounders swimming around in them .Have even caught a few over 20 and some over 30lbs.
Daniel, Thank you bro. I will check these out. I've mapped them out already so I'm ready to go.
I was with a guy at Cheery Creek and he was using hot dogs dipped in cherry cool aid and he was catching one after another 7 to 23 lbs .it was wild
Thanks Daniel. I've got Cherry Creek on my radar. I have used chicken breasts with strawberry kool aide and it work really well at Dixon Res in Fort Collins.
Sounds like we be on the same page ....Good fishing
