Recon @ The PT: Big Guys 6 - Dave Zero 11Oct18

Back on the Front Range meant wintry mix during this outing to the PT, my first in many months. I'll have a team tomorrow so I still went down to check conditions given just 60cfs flows and the recent spate of cold weather. I arrived @ 2pm and fished for 4 hours; I observed decent bug sign of the #22 fall mayflies and smaller midges coming off while I was there. I caught one decent 16" rainbow on my first cast (on an RS2), so I was stoked for a strong afternoon. However I didn't catch more, except for fry, till hours later. Then, I hooked into 6 good fish and lost every one during the fights. All were "clever" break-offs where the fish was able to get to a log or a rock and catch my line on it. Sheesh. Nonetheless, I deemed it decent enough to comeback tomorrow.
