Back "Into" The PT 18Oct16

It was 38° as I pulled up to the Nature Center parking - I had to set out in a ThermoBall! There were no fires nearby, skies were clear and the lot was empty. Flows had increased to 187cfs from a week ago and the water was way off color with <12in viz to my eye. Undaunted I rigged Wire Squirmy, Silver Surfer and Jimi's Axe ~ and I pretty much stuck with this all day. The water color called for silver and I caught most fish today on the SS but squirmy nailed a couple as did my purple haze variant. It was far from an epic fall day with most landings of the smallish variety. One notable unphotoed fish was a "pure strain" Snake River cutthroat of ~14" like I've caught @ 11 Mile. He jumped out of hand before the pic but that's the first "pure" cut I've caught on the PT. Else in "disappointments" were 3 pretty decent fish I didn't land ~ one was even on the rim of my net. Oh well - they all looked about like this 18" rainbow I sense. The day was eventful to a fault anyway as I dipped my 6S after forgetting to put it back in the Crusher after lunch. Grrr... the black 7/128GB is on it's way ~ I decided against Google Pixel just on familiarity and infrastructure, despite my really preferring Google for the rest of my services.
