Big Fish Day On The PT 18May20

Nice day. I hit the PT arriving ~9:30am with only several cars in the Nature Center area. It was an overcast but rapidly clearly and rapidly warming day in Pueblo. Flows were back down to a sweet gin clear 400cfs to boot. While things were favorable and I caught a number of fish, it was not frenetic and I felt like I was earning the ones I did hook. I saw only sporadic BWO and midge hatch activity and I did not see many fish easily (but did see some and the main catch of the day was one such fish which fell for my plan). I caught a very fat 22" cutbow near the carp hole out of nature center, on the #22 green vinyl KF Flasher midge. The rest of the fish today were ~17". I contemplated the question: "would I rather catch one 22" fish, or six 18" fish or  a dozen 15" fish?" - and I came out on the pig side of that Q. That was kind of like today. The #20 RS2 and the new #18 Purple May Reign also nabbed fish today. The one pic of a cutbow near the net was taken right before he bolted again, through my legs, catching the flys on my pants and busting off - nice move for him. Also, caught a cute new/big goose family.
