First '22 Outing To 11 Mile Canyon Section Of So Platte 11Apr22

Today was strangely late in the season for a 1st outing to home waters. Still, despite gale winds in the PM, fun AF. Caught 7 spawning cuts, including one larger 19"er, and even scored my first brownie in '22. Surprisingly light attendance with 6 cars below the tunnel and just 6 above... there were many more folks on my departure @ 57° than my entry @ 39°. I started at the last bridge but the "corner hole" was already occupied - I moved on with egg, blood midge and money or top secret depending. Best bugs were the lower brown midges till PM. I actually saw smallish mayflies and feeding after 1pm and tied on a trailing purple RS2... which worked on the final 'bow and brown. Good day in 11 Mile despite no 20"ers. Tons of redds but modest occupation thus far ~ gotta hit it soon again, aka this week.
