Made it down to Pueblo with Marty to check out another beat
or two for the upcoming tourney. We decided to park at Osprey and walk
down to the carp hole and then work our way back. We got just below
Valco Bridge a few bends and saw several people already fishing that
run.
Plan B - fish the first bend below Valco.... Plan B turned
out to be a pretty good alternative. I think I hooked up four times in
the first six casts. Found a really nice seam and a pod of aggressive
little trout.
Seems like there are always hungry dinks hanging around
Valco. Didn't take Marty long to hook up either. I have no idea how many
fish we pulled out of the run but we whipped it to death. Before we left Marty was able to get a rig below the layer of little guys and stuck a nice bow. Biggest fish of the day and really put up a good fight.
Nothing really surprising on this trip. One new leach
pattern worked out really well but the larger fish in the group were
definitely eating midges. I tossed some baetis in the afternoon but didn't get a lot of action. Everything hit the black midge trailer.
The main pattern I've seen over the past three trips is
that black midges get bit hard early and then taper off around 11.
Haven't found a consistent afternoon fly. Still have some time
though.... I'm sure that once I get close to figuring it out it will all
change :)
