8/10/22: headed to tail waters of McPhee Reservoir which is really the Delores River.
Yesterday's attempt to fish Bear Creek (tributary of Delores) was a bust. 12 miles of hard off roading only to find road blocked due to wildfire fire damage from last year.
Torrential downpour during the night, sounded like a jet engine on my tent. Water filter barely working so I need to buy a new one.
My head is still swimming with memories of Brian's wedding 💑
30 minutes from the mountains which being pounded by a rain storm Delores River tailgaters are actually in a desert canyon.
Epilog: tail waters below
McPhee Reservoir was a bust. I fished for a couple of hours about a half mile from the dam but the water was low and slow. There were some rises and I had 2 strikes but no fish. The access road stayed about 500 yards from the river making it a major chore. Saw peregrine falcons fighting at a cliff face.
I plan to campnear Rico, CO tonight.
