I stole an afternoon to hit the PT at Nature Center. It rained almost the entire trip to Pueblo then the skies cleared and it was very nice as I exited Subway. No one was on the water at the PT but the flows were not very good and the viz was still a milky 12-18". I went 3-5 before "lunch" with fat two 19" rainbows out of the same nice hole. The evidence was lost however at the bottom of the Arkansas though, in about 4.5' of water at the 3rd great hole upstream from parking. Yep, a $250 waterproof camera goes to whomever gets there with river clarity or flow levels right. I chose not to go diving for it but I did sweep down to the rocks with my net, soaking my upper body and vest pockets (that's why I go with waterproof boxes) and shuffle around for something "smoother" than the rest... I also swore a lot. Caught the biggest fishes on ObiWan... goes to reason with the AM rain; "luckily" I laced up with that. My boxes are gettin' slim and my tippet reels are low - it must be fall in Colorado. So, good footage but not me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS3GYEwfV2Q... waitin' for winter so I can score like this youngster: http://www.intheriffle.com/frontend/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/arkansas-river-pueblo-tailwater-fly-fishing.jpg.
