Flow: 562

Water Temp: 63-72

We here at Steel City Anglers want to thank the Nature and raptor Center of Pueblo for the opportunity to put up our tent and get some great folks, young and old, to cast a fly rod and learn the dichotomy between a conventional pole and the weapons of bass (and trout) destruction we are all so fond of.

We had the task today to put a fly rod in the hands of a lot of kids that listened to instruction, put in the effort and made some very nice casts.

The southern Colorado Greenback chapter Of Trout Unlimited was there bringing in new members and the Drift Fly Shop showed off some bugs.

After a great event we finally hit the river to a prolific caddis hatch and hungry trout. I hope the irrigators that keep calling for water slow up, the river clears up a little more and our healthy trout get a real chance to feed. Olive hares ears and tekico nymphs did the trick. Any honey hole can withstand 80 casts without a break but it is still best to keep moving.

Tight lines,

Ben
