Gracious Gore Ck 30Jul15

After AM at the keyboard I headed over Vail Pass and hit the west end of Gore Ck. Not many folks as I moved upstream from the West Vail Frontage Rd parking... rocky bottom is tough to navigate, and I stared into folks' back decks, but it yielded some nice rainbows and browns to my hand.  There are a few cutthroats in here, or so I've heard, but not today in my net. I did best at "the aquarium" where most see 'em but don't catch 'em. But the entire pass from West Vail to first bridge upstream did fine for me on mainly black WD40s and grey flash wing RS2s - mayfly emergers. I saw some coming off so tied that on. I spoke to a guy who liked caddis dries but I switched when moving upstream to the park and did jack on that. I moved back to nymphing and netted some more of these strong fat fish (representatives below) on this gorgeous late July day in Eagle Co. Colorado is so cool.
