GR8 Escapes @ 11 Mile Section South Platte 08May18
Another glorious day on the Front Range prompted me to fish the 11 Mile Canyon section of the So Platte River. This because flows jumped on the Ark freestone and likely putting down the caddis hatch for 2018 - I basically missed it. Mine was a good choice as I caught oodles of fish and scored a triple by landing a brown, a rainbow and a cutthroat today. I caught smaller fish (15"-19") today and broke an amazing streak of 20" fish landed on every tailwater visited this year. I tussled with rigs and escaping fish all day. Not much bug sign really but BWOs and midges worked all day in the riffles and behind structures at just 80cfs flows still. It was kind of crowded and the Crusher was dirtied by the dust following vehicles up canyon. Nonetheless ~ gorgeous, and funny, and fun. The vest cam was flawed with shmutz on the lens so pics are not good - plus, I flailed multiple times on the on & off buttons... I guess I need to go to voice control. Here are the triple and some other nicer ones - do check the escapes in the last 4 images too - funny.
