Pigs From The PT 24Sep15

I took the afternoon on the Pueblo Tailwater of the Arkansas River... this is my first return to the PT in five months. With flows seemingly stable around 400 cfs the river is wadable though it was murky green and pretty warm. It had enough push still too that I did swim. Fish were in the deeper holes. I did have a solid day with a number of big fish including these fat 18-20+" rainbows. Unfortunately the big one broke off. It was tailwater nymphing and the most productive bugs (due to the murkiness IMO) was the rainbow warrior #22 and a red headed black emerger midge #22. I even caught a crayfish today; he was about the size of a softball! I'm looking forward to the CoWWs outing this weekend.
