'Twas a nice day, though windy, on the PT @ Nature Center. Flows are still winter low and clarity is pristine. I did decently with 7 fish registering strength and mostly 18"-19.75"... pics are representative. I only raised one in the farm and none @ the hook weir but elsewhere in haunts did OK. It was kinda crowded and I ranged among just three good spots immediately above the big weir. I still haven't posted a >20"er in Mar22... grrr. The NC fish were like these and taken on midges including Awesome, Purple Reign, and Blood. I saw two mayflies today but some others may have come as I saw a #18 spinner and some sipping later in the day. The fish are moving all over the redds now so targeting is not on them but in nearby waters... the Rodfather True Five continues to be handy.
Bonus Segment - The Ross Evo LTX is awesome. I have the 4-5 on my light 5 weight rod. I've been using the RFT5 quite a bit and the reel mate is the platinum colored Ross Evo LTX. Drag and drag engagement is smooth AF. The reel is also super light but with plenty of capacity. I got mine for much less than the current $445 ask. I haven't banged it around yet the way I tend to do with reels - so can't speak to resistance to bends and such yet. In almost any case, this reel is highly recommended.
The March pickup from ORB is a tasty hazy DIPA with a cool name: Risky Sitch.
