I fished the SPlatte in 11 Mile Canyon today, on my way to Summit. It was mobbed with fishermen and campers ~ 61 vehicles along the drive in, plus all the campground folks. Whew. I'd noticed that flows were back up above 100cfs so I stopped in; I don't like to tax the fish when it's only ~60cfs or lower in the summer. The weather was beautiful and I caught many cutbows in several hours on the stream with Pop Tops, PMD nymphs, and #22 black ice doing most of the work. I saw plenty of PMDs hatching through mid day but no surface action resulting so I didn't even go there. The Rodfather Diamond Blaze 8.5' 4wt was perfect for the situation but I could've even gone lighter as all my fish were 15"-16" despite being where some bigger fish roam ~ perhaps it was my casting choices as with the crowds many ripe spots were occupied. NP, decent day anyway and I left early for work at the Nest.
