Lots Of PT CutBows On Spring Midges 07Apr23

IT was a beautiful day following some cold ones ~ I headed to the PT to fish, loaded with my new Pop Tops and Blue Oyster Cults. I arrived late and hit the water ~11:45am at the Nature Center; it was pretty full but I moved up to the area across from the farm and quickly was into fish. Flows were up decently to 110cfs and it'd kicked up some silt but my midge rig slayed and for ~3 hours I was landing 4-5/hr, including a number of 19"ers, all cutbows. The other bugs I used worked as well, an #18 olive perdigon weight and a #18 MHFBPT. Perdigons work best for me in faster water when a fish may have FOMO. I rested about 3pm and drove up to Valco for a quick pass there ~ my "luck" continued, though I had to jump around plenty of occupied spots and move up to the head of my range near the hatchery flow-in, and I caught more before departing ~5pm. Great day on the PT but just one >20"er (see the release; he did not want to be shown); maybe there are fewer here now.
