Tailwater Tango Day 2 - 11 Mile Quadruple Threat 11Apr15

The CoWWs, minus some, hit the 11 Mile canyon section of the So Platte river. We arrived pretty early, at 42˚ and hit the water just below the dam by 9:30am. We fished till 1:30pm or so in the first outing before lunch, which was provided again in superior but unceremonious fashion by the guide. Fishing was good to great starting at 10:30am but cloud cover and wind and continued cool kept it chilly enough we all wore coats. We caught plenty of trout. Jim sported a white feather for the CoWW look and a bounce rig fashioned by outfitter Rob and nailed a couple nice fish in the PM. It might've been the rig but the 4 bombers for lunch helped. We shared Dragon's Milk, a stellar barrel aged vanilla stout (I know, right), and re-enjoyed the American Beauty IIPA, to some Dead tunes, along witth Vampire Sparkle, or sumpin' like that, and others. Special TX guest star Convivial Rob, aka  Superfly, was active on good fish all day and hooted on many occasions, "let's do this bitches..." he actually scared Greg a bit. Greg and Dave hit triples with nice 'Bows, Cut's, and Browns all netted along with their buddies. Best flies were smallish dark mayflies for the BWO hatches (2 of 'em I think) and my far outperformers were the black #24 KF Flasher and my #24 Awesome midge though other stuff worked. I caught two on sparkly dry midge imitations. The CO vibe penetrated the situation, the surroundings and the friends. Colorado is so cool.
