Another Quick Recon Of SPlatte In 11 Mile Canyon 19Mar24

Well it was 17° through South Park coming from Summit to El Paso through Breck... cold compressed air in the park. After Wilkerson it warmed to ~40° but dropped again as I entered 11 Mile Canyon at 10:15am. Only 17 cars this day; probably because the temp was just 20° in there and the road is barely cleared from the last snow storm. As anticipated, the big storm continued to delay better fishing in the canyon ~ it was cold and slow. I did catch fish this time but just smaller ones. They remain stacked up in deeper pools. I saw no bugs but did observe plenty of finned off redds, but there were no fish on them yet. Blood and Awesome midges fooled the fish but I left in just 90 minutes.
