After a stop at Quest for a blood draw I headed to Pueblo for a day on the Arkansas. First, I finally found a doc I like and he gave me a full physical - hence the blood draw. I'm off Cobra and have new insurance so a change was timely - I do need a doc before I get on Medicare as getting one then is tough. I've never had an EKG and I was surprised to learn, somewhat like DD, I have an enlarged heart, but for good reasons - athleticism! BP was good, resting rate was ~55. PulseOx was great, "organs" were the correct size and so on. Now if the blood tests show I haven't pickled my liver 2017 tests will be all good.
While cold on arrival the clear sunny skies wamed up nicely on the PT. Flows are very low and water is pretty clear at the Nature Center but sedimented at Valco. I observed some early signs of redds. I saw a small midge hatch and one #20 BWO - nice. I caught some fish including one thinish but nice 19-20"er; I didn't employ the net cam after having futzed with it on my first good fish-on and lost it. It's not spring fishing but it was decent. All rainbows and all caught on tiny segmented midges. LisaS keeps suggesting I'm a NatGeo photo guy - so here's the selfie with a real NatGeo logo. For lunch I even found a fav Stone IPA in cans - heretofore unknown to me. Woohoo.
