Fishing The Vail Valley 19Aug20

I headed over the pass to the Vail Valley to fish the Gore and Eagle today. I was late getting out but oh well. It got crowded pretty quickly on 1st Dawg Pk and then 2nd The Mouth of the Gore but I caught quite a few smaller browns like these on an new ice enticer BH PMD nymph, black #20 DCEZWD40 and olive/tan #14 chubbies. Chucked 'em all using the 2 wt - no 'bows, much less a triple... I left for lunch at VBC.
  
After lunch I hit the close-by Eagle River downstream of Minturn. I parked at the Holy Cross ranger station, crossed the street, and fished upstream for 1/2 mile. Fishing was meh but it was the height of warmth of the day. On the way home I caught the current state of the Williams Fk fire from the car.
