Spring Flows & Mayflies Are Back On The PT 26Apr212

I hit the PT @ the Nature Center section today. We had a couple of inches of snow yesterday and there were puddles on the dirt in Pueblo, but the day was super nice with part sun and no wind. Flows have been bumped finally to a more normal late spring of ~400cfs. That might've kept folks away as I was all alone (1st time ever?) at NC. I even took the wading staff (but didn't need it). I did very well all morning on #18 grey MH flash wing RS2 (a keen BWO emerger for here), and a few other bugs... while I didn't see but a smidge of a hatch, the fish are sure anticipating. I have modified my rig to use black ice top, big RS2 dropper and awesome midge trailer. This worked very well. I'll even go to 3 mayflies when "it's on." Caught a number of stout fish like these but many 14"ers too. Targeting was more challenging but the fish are still not spread out as it's only been several days at the higher flows. The new flows are quite different as to feeding lies (compared to ~80cfs), but so much better for the fish. I did best behind weirs and especially in the hook-ends with slower water. I lunched and hit the PM for a bit out of Valco but the bite seemed to have subsided. I caught some, but a smaller version of PT cutbow. I was heatrened in that I did catch a 12" streamborn (coloring was different that the stocked versions).
