Notes

Used 13120000 NF Big Lost at Wildhorse as reference
Water was actually pretty low. Caught one on the first cast and my expectations soared. But after that - nothing. I hit all the obvious spots but got zero. I was really flabbergasted - this has always been my go-to spot for obscene amts of fish. I wonder if the fish hadn't quite migrated to these smaller feeders so soon after the run-off. My usual times are pre-run-off or weeks afterwards.
Did see dozens of pronghorn (and fawns), but no moose and seriously no fish.
