Shocking Outcomes On The PT 05Nov18

I was excited that the flows at the Pueblo Tailwater had increased to just over 100cfs, excellent for the fish and fishing. Since the weather too was great I headed down with enthusiasm. I fished the Nature Center first and did nothing in the the first two holes - then I arrived at a raft trailering vehicle from CoPW. Timing is everything on the PT and while I had flows and weather and season right - I did not account for the electro-shock inventory event. Catching fish was abysmal as I followed the shock. I caught one decent 17" rainbow; I did have a huge ~24"er or so on the line (in the pig & log hole above Valco parking) but lost him quickly above when he jumped and shook his 6# body and broke the rig at my surgeon's knot. Grrr. I saw clear evidence of the brown trout pre-spawn behavior preparing redds but none were occupied. Visability is improving too and I saw some big fish but could not make the required casts in those situations. I caught plenty of fry.
