So Slow & Crowded In 11 Mile Canyon 22May18

What a difference a week makes... the campground is almost full and it just opened; all the pullouts in the catch & release section had cars; I saw precious little bug sign; I saw only a few fish and none seemed feeding hard; I saw no-one catch a fish, yet there were several guides with clients. I don't exactly know what happened - flow is painfully low and fish are spooky but that's been true prior - perhaps the recent ferocious hail and low pressure has a hand in it. I fished for 2 hrs and got one strike; fortunately I handed her - a 15" rainbow on a black vinyl #22 midge. I'm off to the Sonoran Desert to enjoy the 103° temps and catch up with my 60yr old sis' and old friends.
