Colorado tailwaters completely rule pre-runoff. Today again I hit the Pueblo Tailwater ~ and again I felt low pressure on the river this day, at least early in the day. I arrived @ 9:30am with 58° air temps and flows falling to ~60cfs. Unfortunately, Denver Water again reduced flows from the rez so, again, not good. While it provides great visibility to the big fish, it also makes the whole show very technical: presentations and fly selection become delicate. So #24 midges were the ticket until a smallish mayfly hatch in the winds was observed... I converted the trailer to a #22 Destiny's Child and did very well in all the faster sections of the Nature Center from Bug Weir through Farm Across to Farm to Hook to, especially, the Carp Hole and its weir above. All cutbows, 50/50 male/female with all very strong girth. Happy April.
