Hitin' A Triple On Gore Ck 21Aug15

While the bounty was of browns on Gore Ck today, I landed decent fish of brown, brook and rainbow varieties! A triple is pretty rare for me so it was cool. I started at the mouth of Gore where it meets with the Eagle River near Minturn. Most of my 1st pass began at 10:30am and was eventless but I landed one nice brown on an RS2 - I was fishing all nymphs as while I saw hoppers I saw little else that might get the fish to look up and hook up. A bit frustrated I broke for lunch at 12:45pm at Magusto's in Minturn for pizza & beer. Decent pizza but weak draft list had me order a $5 longneck Avery... sheesh. While I didn't consult them I did have a great view of Minturn Anglers at lunch. I decided to head upstream to West Vail and parked at the dog park along the frontage road there (west of the West Vail exit in the south side of I70). I switched to dries bound and determined to get some rises but still had mayfly nymph droppers like WD40s. I was using caddis-like stimis and caddis as some were returning to lay eggs by mid-afternoon. Mostly it was a decent bobber but I did catch my one rainbow and a brown on it. I did not even know brookies were in Gore Ck but it is pretty cold. I was surprised and pleased to land the decent sized super-dark-eyed brook trout after a stream dance of my own (check the "fish-on" with stream and bridge background) taking me downstream 10 yards to land him. The 'bow was taken with an audience on the bridge. The PM saved the day and yielded a triple - each decent ~14". Cause d' celeb suggested I prepare NuvoCanes (I named it this 'since it numbs you to pleasures... but that's OK 'cause you have it all) for Kala and me upon return to Silverthorne, and I did... my unique variation of the New Orleans Hurricane.
