I hit 11 Mile early and fished the entire lifecycle of the trico mayfly starting at 7:45am with emergers. I then switched to dry/dropper and ultimately spinner when the fall came at 10am. The whole thing was frustrating as always - its just darn hard to see black #24 dries. I did catch fish but they are smallerish in summer it seems; or I don't know where the bigger ones are. The weirdness of note on this excursion was the preponderance of cutthroats in my bounty. Half my catch of ~1.25/hr were cuts. Further, I don't know if I can call it a quad really but I did catch cutthroat, rainbow, brown and a cutbow. I think hybrids probably don't count as a separate species. Again, the browns and rainbows were all smaller than even these so no pics. Here is the cutbow and a cut. These are Snake River strain and not Colorado cuts; FYI. I don't get very good depth of field with this hand holding method... heads are out of focus lest I bend the fish correctly.
