tibbs Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited April 25, 2011 by Tibbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
