Great Day on the PT 13Oct13

An old friend (Sage Z-Axis) did most of the damage on the Pueblo Tailwater @ Nature Center today after I busted the tip of my Sage One landing a nice 19"er. During the morning I was only 1 for 4 and a bit frustrated with only 18" of visibility - I couldn't see the fish at all really and had to judge potential lies from just topwater and hydrodynamics. Then I hooked and landed a decent fish without a tip about 11:30a! After dining in nice sunshine back at the car I re-rigged with the Z-Axis and headed back out. The afternoon was much nicer both in temperature and bug hatches. A strong afternoon BWO hatch yielded a number of great fish. I was more effective with more silvery imitations (going to them as a result of recalling techniques in muddy water in PA). All rainbows and all my best silvery/flashy mayfly nymphs worked (I was subsurface all day and saw very little top action)... black ice, rainbow warrior, silver surfer and the venerable mercury head flash wing RS2. It seems like the PT is coming back some after high flows and then weird turbidity.
