Indian Summer On The PT 24Oct16

Awesome weather for a day on the PT. Cooler nights and lower flows (110cfs) made fishing on the PT decent. Though, while I caught 25-30 rainbows today I only caught three bigger fish. I did catch a dozen or so 12-15' guys represented below by the latter pics as well as as many 6" fry, unrepresented by a photo. I did not see but a few red quill, super small BWOs and some midges during the day, and then a few caddis at the end of the day. I did some stomach pumps and found earth brown aquatic worms a couple times as well as some normal black midges and/or mayflies. So, I used a brown & red squirmy which was very productive (too productive on the smallest fish really) as were both black and grey RS2s and the silver surfer. I am almost out of flies so I couldn't imitate the red quill (FBPT required) or black stuff in poor viz (purple haze desired but I'm out). The clarity was still off but better out of Nature Center than Valco, where the lake turnover is obvious.
