by ualgremlin - 05/21/16 by Duke trout 32 - by jessezimmer11 - Pulled a 8`` Rainbow out of this little pool.  Water was running 270 cfs so I had to hike a ways to get a semi-calm pool to cast into.  Spooked him as I walked up, and casted a few dozen times with him teasing a black fly, a stone, then finally chomping on a small Royal Wulff.
