It's been too long...

Work, life and the honey-do list just haven't afforded me any time to fish lately...not that I don't want to.  I did manage to get to the South Platte near Denver mid November, to one of my fav spots.  I found no rises, but managed to net a nice brown on a nymph I designed myself...one of the best thrills we get.  I had tried all the bugs recommended by the books and the shops, but the water was low and gin clear, as usual for November.  Consequently, the fish were wary as always, but in a deep riffle, in the shade, the brown and I intersected.  A good thrill to carry me to spring.
Keep the rod bent, fish when you can...
