It was a pretty nice day in 11 Mile canyon - today held "only" 56 cars. Nonetheless I was there too, stopping on the way home from Summit. Again I had few holes in which to work but did plenty of catching today, but can't provide too many pics. I again installed the camera backwards and didn't discover that till later in the outing - for the early part I therefore just captured sunshine over my shoulder. I caught a couple of Snake River cutthroats ~17" like the one shown. I also caught some rainbows & cutbows but the nicest was a fat 18"er lady as shown. The small brown midges worked as before here but a modest BWO hatch occurred and while I tried with RS2s and FBPTs, I couldn't get them with that technique. I switched to dries (re-rigging tasks are never taken lightly) when I saw one sipping spinners. My parachute BWO didn't work so I switched to a seemingly deadly CDC wing with sparkle thorax and caught two from the same area, including the fat lady which I knowingly targeted. I like it when a plan works.
