| Littleton, Colorado Posts: 34 | When we arrived there was about 3" - 6" of snow on the ground and the air temp was 28 degrees, when the sun came up over the canyon around 9 - 9:30, the air temp moved up to the forties, and it was on. There was a huge Baetis hatch that began at 9:30a that lasted more than an hour. Through out the day there were several more much smaller but just as productive hatches of Baetis. Effective Flies: Barr's Emerger #20, BWO Dun #18 - #22, Parachute BWO #18 - #22, Mercury RS2 #20 - #22, "Traditional" RS2 #18 - #22, Mercury Baetis #18 - #20 I attached some pictures of the canyon so everyone could see why I spend so much time on the South Platte. | |

| Palmyra PA Posts: 905 | Sundula, thanks for the photos for us Easterners who can't get out to see this beautiful water (at least right now). I loved the pictures. | |
