Man oh man I love the month of November!
We had a bit of a drive this weekend so we decided to leave Friday evening for our destination: Fleabag Motel located amidst steelhead central, LOL!
The place was a bit of a rathole, but hey it's somewhere to hang your hat, a great place to socialize with other fishermen, and we were nice and fresh for the onslaught which ensued Saturday morning .
The river had risen due to snowmelt a couple of days before and we were hitting it on the drop, bang on the nose. Couldn't ask for better timing really......
Saturday started a wee bit slow due to the turbid water, but by around 10am right through both days it was fish after fish with many double and triple headers.
Initially fish were caught on oversized chartreuse "choker" bags because of the water clarity. Once things cleared up pretty much anything you wanted to use caught fish, LOL!
I used and did indeed catch a bunch of fish on Jason's (Basskicker on the board) hand poured steelhead baits.
Thanks buddy they were awesome!
The egg clusters caught a few fish, but the pink worms were killer!
Here's a few pic's from the weekend:
Lots of fish in pristine surroundings and a lot of laughs shared with a couple of good
friends.
It just doesn't get any better!
Cheers, Mike
