Strong Fish On RFT5 @ PT 14Apr22

The weather flipped to beauteous after the 2 day cold snap so I headed to the PT today. Flows are still low like ~100cfs; usually we are nearer 400cfs at this point. I started at the Nature Center and loaded the RFT5 with an egg and midges and went at it starting at the shallow above the big weir upstream. 2nd cast yielded a cutbow... and there were many more to follow this day. Nothing for me from the farm however. My best spot was the hook weir above the deep carp hole. I was fortunate to get about 3/hour with most of them 18"-21" like these. I did lose a couple too. The egg worked as did a purple 2 wire midge larva, the Purple Reign emerger, the Awesome Midge and others. I saw mayflies at ~2pm but not many; I tied on a MHFBPT early and a purple RS2 later and didn't score yet with mayflies here... soon though. A fun and not too crowded outing in Pueblo.

I headed to the St Park @ Valco for lunch after I landed a 20" sucker at NC. I caught a couple of  nice cutbows at Valco too, but it was noticably slower. I ran out of battery on the GoPro from some fumbling so I had to use the one hander and a point-n-shoot camera.
