Fishing The Middle Fk Of SPLatte @ Tomahawk ~ Windy & Chilly But Effective 23Apr26

I hit the Middle Fk of the South Platte above Hartsel today as I passed by on my way to Summit. No one else was at the Tomahawk pull out, for good reason. Flows were low; temp was 41°; winds were high and gusty. Undeterred I suited up and grabbed my new v2 version of the 8' Rodfather True 3 and Lamson reel for its maiden field trial on this small river. My first hour at 10:15am was nothing caught or seen. In my 2nd hour though I began to see some small fish in shallow warming water and I was encouraged to keep going, but I did change rigs to include a #22 glass head tan midge. Then, I began to catch a number of 10"-14" rainbows and a couple of 10" browns ~ all on the tan midge. All the pics were taken via my still fish camera, which ultimately wasn't really storing them as the card wasn't recognized... I hadn't noticed; oh well. The selfie is the only thing captured as it was done with the Hero cam. Fishing wasn't off the hook but it was sufficient and I headed on to the Nest at 12:15pm as I was done with the chill and the wind. The new True 3 was fun for this size of fish, and was even pretty effective in the wind.
