Heres a few Soft Hackles that will work on your side of the divide. My buddy lives in Westminster and fishes those areas.

Peacock and Partridge sizes 18 to 10..Different variations aswell
A variety of Hares ears
Throw in a Pheasant tail SH and you should be fine.
If you havent already, bookmark Charlies page.
Don't forget about Clear Creek, and Bear creek.
Get in touch with a few local fly shops for up to date flows and patterns.
Perhaps we will meet some time on my side of the divide, and fish the Colorado, or Roaring Fork together.
Again, welcome.
