Good morning everyone! What a mix of different water and weather we had this week! Looks like we’re getting back into another dry and hot pattern with the chance of the occasional afternoon thunder boomer! Alright, it’s getting late, so here’s the latest! Looks like we’re up a little bit today. At 9:45 this morning, Cheesman was at 193(cfs), Trumbull running at 258 (cfs), and from what I observed this morning in Decker’s, about 245 (cfs). Things are looking up after a pretty slow week on the river. All that chocolate milk we had to deal with earlier in the week has cleaned up nicely and I have seen considerable hatches all morning! The tricos were coming off big this morning through Trumbull, check out shot I took of the hatch occurring behind my house just a few moments ago! I fished last night with my neighbor and pulled two fish, one with a single hopper, after loosing my other two flies in the willows the previous cast! and the other was with another favorite  “muddy bug” the Black “wooley bugger”. I’ve put together a small picture gallery for you to see some of the activities and adventures I’ve been on the last few days! I want to thank all of the Angler’s that have been so receptive to my presence on the river each day, along with listening to me explain why I’m out there doing what I’m doing. I will be writing a story this evening about a group from TROUT UNLIMITED https://www.cutthroatctu.org/, who are up here today doing volunteer work at the YMCA Camp Shadybrook. https://www.campshadybrook.org/ For more on today’s project, visit https://www.cutthroatctu.org/?tribe_events=musk-thistle-remediation-along-the-south-platte . You can also find  out about upcoming volunteer opportunities right here in the Decker’s area!   Tomorrow,  I will be adding my fitness and diet information to my daily blog, along with a weekly picture to share the results of my mission to achieve optimal health and spiritual wellness, through lifestyle change, hard work, and passion for life! Take care my friends and I look forward to seeing you on the river or on the trail.  Have a great day folks!
