I'd not yet hit the big water this year so I took out of the Nest for the Pumphouse section of the Colorado River. I should've looked at the flows as this section was running full on at 1500 cfs and wading was dancing and was sparse. Too much water but I headed up the Gore Trail ~1/2 mile anyway to check out "Disney World" where a bunch of rocks create a perfect playground (this is an area for trout , which I believe Greg went to on his first visit to the CO out this way). It was too high even here to do well so after catching one really beat up 22" rainbow (no pics in deference to his family) at a nice tongue I headed back to the Pumphouse ramps. I was pretty frustrated with rigs and trees and lack of fish but put in one last time and caught several browns including a decent 18"er. No top action and best bug was a cobalt bead silver surfer - I am beginning to see evidence of the fall (psuedo baetis = smaller) BWO mayflies and with the higher and a bit dirtier water, I went silver and rainbow warrior (which also nabbed a brown).
