Great Report!!! Sounds like you had a great time up north!

Looks like an awesome trip Steve. That laker is a tank! Thanks for the report.

That's awesome! I'm sure you guys will make it on the show.

I use the Berkley FireLine Braid. Braid It's the only braid I've ever used and its been great so far.

Nice One!

:lol:

Thanks! It sure was a great day.

Hi Everyone! Hope all you guys and gals have had a great trout opener. I personally had my best trout opener ever! On Friday night I got all my gear ready and couldn't wait to head out the next day. I left the house at 5 am and got to the creek an hour later. On my first drift I hooked into a steelhead! I caught a few yearling trout and then decided to move a little further upstream to the next pool. The first drift at the new pool resulted in me hooking into my first ever brown trout. A few more casts later I hooked into a decent steelie. While I was fighting it, the screw on my islander fell out and I subsequently lost the fish. I looked for the screw but couldn't find it. So I went back to the car to get my spare reel. I ran back to my pool and started fishing again. For literally for two hours I caught a fish on every single drift! I didn't take pics of all the fish I landed. At around 10 am the fishing slowed down and I thought I may as well leave on a good note. My hands were numb and I was soaked down to the bone, but I didn't care. It was worth every minute.

Great Report Splashhopper! Sounds like you had a great opener.

I had a great day as well!!! For about two hours, I caught a fish on every drift! Only bad thing that happened today was that the screw on my Islander fell out yet and I couldn't find it. Good thing I brought a spare reel!!!

Nice one. Looking forward to the fly report.

Nice Job!

I saw that on PBS last year. It's quite a compelling story.

Wow... wasn't expecting to hear this news. From the posts that he wrote, he seemed like a great guy. My condolences go to his family and friends.

Nice Job! It looks great. Whoever gets it will be one happy camper.
