Happy Tax Day - Weird Day On PT And New YouTube Stuff 15Apr20

At least we got to defer. With a gap in the snow I hit the PT. Flows were back to ~500cfs and with a couple of very cold nights the emerging BWOs and other bug hatches were minimized. I had a number of fish on but missed landing all but one 17"er. Hmmm. The biggest was one of those situations heralded by the moment you know the vigorous head shakes allowed the beast to throw the hook (from the momentary slack) but then there's a nano-second delay and a re-hookup into it's body... at least I know the feeling now with a number of fish lost in this manner. The "side-haul" and pressure was too much and I lost that pig... the movie of the incident unfolds exactly like that though. Oddly too on the outing from Nature Center was a massive beaver beached and dead just below the 1st big weir upstream from parking... orange teeth! Then I feature some artists' new drops who bring their best in these unengineered, unattended, unteathered times.

Phoebe Bridgers just streamed live on Instagram for Pitchfork. "I'm such a boomer; I'm likin' the tech." It's a good stream with a tribute to John Prine as well as an all new song drop: "I Know The End." Black pajamas at home I guess...

Cody took his wife Elyse (decorated skier) down a sketch line in the Sawtooths... really fun on really bad snow.

And Grouplove played the YouTube space for a gr8 version of Deleter live.

Wheatus seems to release recorded live sessions often... no video. Great song though.

Alex Lahey won't be coming to the US soon but she did do an unattended, solo concert which was cool: Delivered Live.
