everyone's been pounding steelheads here and there and i was anxious to get out. Knowing the conditions would be tough, i still went to try my luck since this is my only day off and the rain coming this weekend will blown some rivers out..
starting at about 10am, the deepest holes of the rivers were so clear i could see bottom.
headed to another trib, looked more promising..but vis was at least 3 feet
i was about to end my day early since the wind started picking up. along with the choppy water my float was going up and down on the surface of the water..
my float suddenly tilted sideways, which was weird..so i set the hook, and fish on! after about 10 seconds i realized i was using 2lb leader
i almost pooped my pants a few times when the fish took off right into the logs...i guess thats the trill with light leaders...
heres the spunky little guy, unfortunately the only fish for the day
