Smalls From Leftovers On The PT 29Nov23

Wow. A nice day again in November brought the crowds to the PT. I hit the water at 10:45am with the Rodfather Colorado S2 in hand. There were lots of cars and lots of fishermen out of the Nature Center today. I was relegated to the leftovers as every good spot upstream of the parking lot at NC was occupied by campers. I mean, nobody moved from their spots on the big weir, the farm, the opposite, the hook weir, or the carp hole. I caught plenty of fry on the perdigon and midges in the leftover spots but moved up to Valco at noon. It was a similar story there and so it was a day of leftovers and a couple of decent bows.

So while I've been dealing with crowds on the tailwater and the ski slopes, master fisherman MdB has been landing the migrating/spawning browns at Antero. Nice. Will I ever change my stance on stillwater fishing... hmmm.
