11 Mile Canyon Meh 21Oct21

I thought I'd try 11 Mile Canyon section of the So Platte today. Brrr... it was 37° when I turned the corner at Lake George. I bundled up and rolled onto the river with the repaired RF Cutty. It threw great - yesterday I greased and repaired all my lines from summer use. Fishing was not great though. Only twenty cars on the way to the upper section but no one was doing anything. The river flows are excellent at ~100cfs but it is choked with veg and one must constantly clean flies. Plus, the fish are hiding in the veg for the most part and hard to see or target. I was fortunate to hook up with a nice brown but unfortunate to lose him as he darted under a downed tree and broke off - he must've taken the Awesome Midge as it was gone when I retrieved my rig. Grrr.
