Cool Wind During Galvan Field Trial @ 11 Mile 23May16

Today I was on 11 Mile in mid-50° weather but with stiff cooler winds. I was out to fish of course and was testing the new Galvan Torque reel. The reel was nice and had a feature/aspect I appreciated right away... there is ~zero incremental startup inertia when on the reel and drag sets in. Most other reels I've used have an incremental force amount as to pull to initiate feeding line out with drag; the Galvan flows smoothly and instantly into proper drag - much less scary with big fish on. This was needed today as I did catch some bigger (for 11 Mile) rainbows of 16"-18". Nothing but rainbows today on my triple threat purple rig of black ice (weight), Dave's FoD and Jimi's Axe - the latter two doing the damage. I did fine but I still thought the fishing a little slow and pretty technical in the very low flows. It was pretty busy with fishermen too as I think this is one of the only non-ragin' fisheries around right now. I left early ~2pm when weather rolled overhead.
