Unseasonably Low Flows & Woes On The PT 29May19

Being in El Paso County and noting the uncharacteristically low flows of ~280cfs on the Pueblo Tailwater, I headed down despite a dreary day in COS. It was partly sunny and warm enough for no coat on the PT today. I field trialed my self-repaired old waders and they worked fine. I caught a gaggle of fish today on a black mini-leech and mayfly nymphs (Mercury head RS2 and mercury head FBPT) but only 15"-18" like those shown, but nothing longer. My VestCam ran out of battery so I needed to wield the camera. I tasted Brantley's gift of 4 Noses Whimsy NEIPA @ lunch - very good. It was an fine outing on both the Nature Center and Valco sections, but I swam @ ~2pm and that cut the day short. The real woe is that I lost my mini-leech... and everything that was attached to it including line, Sage One rod and Hardy reel! I chased it but could not keep up and even yelled to a downstream guy to watch for it but no joy. Sheesh that's a bummer - but it will make someone else pretty lucky - can I say I am paying it forward?
