Does anyone here know Harrison Steeves personally?
Yup. He's in Denver area fishing now and here's Sue's report of their day. You might get him before he leaves by writing Sue at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and tell her Murf sent you. And now a windy report-
After a pleasant scream down the Glenwood canyon onto 75 mph I70, thence to
Denver and points north, Harry and I are now back in Loveland.� Rafferty
headed points south nearer Pueblo to find a house to settle into for a
couple of years whilst he works on special project.
Fishing yesterday was brutal, in the words of HRS ... the wind that
is.� Unbelievable wind for last three days on river, but it indeed was
brutal yesterday.� A few clouds out, but more sunshine.� And the hatching
insects? Well, blown into hiding or better still west to Utah !
No matter, while HRS was fishing with the Cane Boys, Rafferty and I ended
up at the gaging station.� Fella there (who was also fishing cane !) told
us, "baetis in #22 and #24".
Harry had tied up some small olive threadbody with short CDC posts in #22
and #24 just the day before.� Just the ticket.� First cast for me resulted
in a remarkable brown with colors clearly of the spawn.� Brightly colored
red with darkened spots.� Saw him working just in front of the upper rocks
at gaging station, first cast, took him.�� He dove around for a bit, then
tried to get around the rock.� No sirree, I wasn't havin' any of that...the
wind has messed w/ our fishing as it was that day.
Rafferty tied into some down a bit lower in that faster water just before
gaging station.� I love that spot, easy wading against the current and lots
of long pocket runs !
Super time for all three of us...
Harry heads home in a day or so, been a great annual visit I'll tell ya.
cheers,
SUE
