Tax Day CutBows @ 11 Mile 15Apr22

On my way to Summit to close Keystone for Easter WE I stopped for some fish in 11 Mile Canyon. Bigger fish this outing; it was pretty cold due to the wind. It messed with my rig on occasion. I arrived late at 10:30am with a decent crowd in place but many left early. I had a strong showing and neighbors showed some chagrin, while others cheered. I was there 3 hours and caught >3/hr including 21", 19", 18" and on down the line. Flow are decent for 11 Mile @ ~120cfs; temp was 45° at Lake George and less in the canyon - it got up to 57°. I was throwing an egg on top which worked, a blood midge 1st drop which worked best on the bigger fish, and a brown midge larvae (Money) or emerger (Top Secret) depending which worked. It's appropriate I used the RF Cutthroat again here in 11 Mile as I caught a "pure" Snake River cutty today (last); not big but cool - I saw him in the run (with his betraying coloration) and targeted him. Targeting was my scheme all day - but with the wind bursts the water became opaque on and off. Good day capped with lunch at ORB in Summit - also grabbed the delicioius River Bend 4 Pack, again appt.
