Nice TR. A very pleasant read this morning.

I noticed a few things about the fish...they were all in good shape,
and very good color. I am not sure if that is because of the limited
access, or the mandatory use of barbless hooks. ...

I'd cast my vote for the low fishing pressure. There's a
mandatory barbless rule on the San Juan in New Mexico and
some of those fish are totally beat to ****.

I think you are probably right. I'll have to get up into some of our
more heavily fished c and r waters to see how the fish look, now that
the barbless regs have been in effect for a few years.
