Trundled into Jurassic Park on the Blue River. Arrived late ~10am but had a blast all day. I went further (probably >2mi) than previously and enjoyed fruits of the brutal trail downstream. Pools, pockets and runs... with the former being best holding spots. Flow was ~100cfs and the environment sublime. Best performing flies were the green drake #12 dry (woohoo) mid day and the black ice #20 BH mayfly nymph. Landed many fish using the new Sage One 5wt including a number of 16" rainbows and a couple awesome big browns, including the feature 19"er and a smidge smaller brute.
I was fishing and so was the snake, who landed a nice sculpin! I also braved a cliff climb to score a nice net lost by a fisherman earlier... I guess there is conservation of fishing gear in this canyon as I recovered this net but lost all my flourocarbon previously on a visit. Colorado is so cool.
