Low flows of just 60 cubic feet per second on the Dream Stream section of the South Platte River below Spinney Mountain Reservoir usually don’t attract the largest fish.

Now for the really special part of the story. Behr hooked the large henfish on a No. 22 Mercury Pheasant Tail nymph and needed less than 10 minutes before Dorsey got it into the net.
