F3... Fly Fishin' with Friends on the Arki TailH2O 01Dec13

The long and short of it is that I got to fish the PT @ Valco with some great friends again this gorgeous day. Windy AM for sure - which disassembled my casting often but didn't stop me completely from presenting a BWO emerger (black ice, RS2, silver surfer) at the right time of day. I caught some fish. Jim's gettin' there as casts land about in the right place now... I do hope for his fake bugs to be in the water for a greater percentage of the day... attitude and persistence are standouts in the face of tough conditions. Daryle nabbed a nice one up-top during the BWO hatch... bully for goin' dry. These weren't the largest we've seen in Pueblo, nor the best conditions, and I landed an unusual number of fish ~6 inches long among the others. We'll be back but conditions have changed and so must we. We got to race a Mtn Shadows guide home; who knew there was a driver from COS on the PT reading my handbook. No pics but these ducks as they were cool and the others are somehow not right to show.
