opening morning

[Fang]

Water was super clear and fish were very tight to cover. Worms, roe and 2 fish on a #10 stonefly pattern. All fish were spawned out and many heading back downriver through the morning.

 

Bite was on till about 9 am then it went very quiet.

 

This one was very long and had a big chunk out of the side. Around 28" maybe all of 5 lbs though

 

nice color

 

this was a battler, many jumps and took me through 2 log jams,

 

Well I don't think there'll be anything left in the river for next weekend so I'm going salmon or crappie fishing

I went out this morning, drove from trib to trib where there was at least 8 or 10 cars parked on the side of the road, turned around and came home! haha first and last opener for me.

 

Have a good one!

For sure something I'd really like to try. Got the mouth calls which drive the wife nuts.

 

Just never have been able to make the committment on scouting to find a spot and birds. My brother just bought 9 acres north of hamilton and has seen a bunch of Jakes - must be some toms around too.

 

Maybe 1 of these years - it's hard to break tradition for me same spot 22 years running now!
