Fall In 11 Mile Canyon 14Oct20

I didn't fall in, it's fall and I was on the So Platte in the 11 Mile Canyon section. Flows were kicked up to ~120cfs, so that's good; the bottom of the river is choked with skunge, so that's bad; the browns are on their redds getting randy, so that's good; it is still a pretty crowded place and I did not get to fish a number of notable spots, so that's bad; it was a gorgeous day, so that's good. I caught a number of fish but didn't film but one due to battery outage. Here's a nice 17" cutty  caught on Jimi's Axe. The cutbows & rainbows were about this size too and again on the keen purple & black starling bug. I missed one really nice larger cutthroat who threw my bug. In total strangeness I caught several fingerlings today - that's never happened to me in 11 Mile. I picked up ORB's Azacca Solo Series IPA for my October allotment - very good, especially in a sublime environment like 11 mile Canyon in fall.
