Rod, Ride & Brue 04Nov16

Yoho and I set out to tame the 'bows of the Pueblo Tailwater but instead faced increased flows to ~175cfs and REALLY slow conditions on this sunny fall day. I was bound and determined to get Jim into some big PT rainbows so was a decent guide for a while... hard for me as you might know. We went to "sure thing" spots to no avail - and it wasn't Jim's casting, float or rig - fishing sucked on the PT today. I ultimately caught a few small fish on Jimi's Axe and Yoho had some small fish on too but fishing was painfully slow. We dined and then blew off fishing any more about 2pm. We fortunately saved the day with a nice ride on the Pueblo Lk trail system where we climbed out of the south shore lot on Dukes and went around the lake to Inner Limits and then back to the lot on South Shore... not a lot of climbing but a really nice set of single track and a blast. We capped it with a stop at the new brewery named Brue in downtown Pueblo. Decent Leadhead IPA and a very nice space. A cool band was setting up in a separate room as we left ($5 cover) and the nice patio had some nice folks enjoying the evening.
