Streamerguy Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 We all know how Cold and Bad the conditions have been on the river this past Month but when I got Anytime off work and weekends I did wet (I mean freeze up) my line. I picked up a new Centerpin in Dec (christmas present to me from me )I just couldn't resist after all the price was right,Iv'e never used or casted one in my life and I couldn't wait to use it.Well the weather turned out perfect on Jan 1st for a Centerpin newb with a 13' rod in his hands...NO WIND and it was also good nobody was around but a few locals.I got the feel by my 7th cast but landed this Beauty gal on my 5th cast She was the only one for that day but was well worth it...... Got out again on the 18th,caught 2 but only landed this one.Weather was way to cold for fishing but it was a weekend lol Left early from work on a friday and landed only this 1 for the day.Ran into Jack (jwl) and he had just about the same luck that day as did everyone else, 1 fish to show for it.Still better than sitting around the house watching the tube This day was just too much with the huge ice floating around the size of a pick-up truck and trying to dodge bolders all day was not the perfect conditions, but I did manage to land this huge gal... That was about it for Jan and thank god that's all over...It was a cold ,low vis,ice dodging month and I am glad it's done. Let's see what Feb report brings Cheers Streamerguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwl Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) very nice report man, you summed up the month pretty well there. It's only been the hardcore nut jobs out there for the most part trying to get into the fish and it hasn't been easy either pretty tough trying to get any good numbers of fish when only like every 20th cast you can make is a good one who would have thought that steelies would turn out to be the fish of 10,000 casts February can only get better,as long as I don't make plans a week ahead of time to get out in my boat maybe we won't get a foot of snow at a time Toughing it out paid off for you and atleast you got something every trip out, now all we have to do is figure out what colours the damn fish want..seems it's been differetn every time, I been fishing the lower from shore and the upper from boat over the last few weeks and I swear every fish i caught came on a different colour. Good seeing ya out there the other day, too bad we where packing it in for the day, have to try and catch ya on one of those days where a few of us get together in our boats and try and get you out there for the day Hey I just noticed something in your pics there...looks like all hens, and some fresh ones too, last couple times I was there almost all ole beater been in the river for a while bucks caught by everyone, nice to see the mix Edited February 4, 2009 by jwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
