Redemption With Odd Sizes 17Oct18

While flows remain "too low" @ 60 cfs and the lake churn makes the river very turbid, I was still able to catch some nice fish on the Ark at the PT section. I cannot see many fish but they are there. The day was colder than expected as I jumped out of the car at 37° and it was overcast all day, though it did warm up to 53° or so. Redemption refers to my previously losing 5 straight and this time landing all the "big" ones. Odd sizes refers to my catching fish 15", 17" and 19" among the many fry. The 19" (measure shot below) was especially strong and thick). I observed clear BWO sign in the AM and PM and midges in the AM. Best producing flies were the Silver Surfer & Destiny's Child for mayflies (#22) and the Candy Cane & Grey Vinyl KF for midges (#24). I caught the largest fish upstream from the Valco Ponds.
