Hey Brother, what a freakin awsome day. The water is back Down around perfect clarity was good and the fish were stacked from end to end and in all of the hole I saw and spoke to people in. John smoked today, when I arrived just before 8 he had one on and had released two already, I helped him land that beauty of a hen. He then payed me back by handing me the bait he caught his with and bang 4th cast the little chrome rocket hen took it. Then a couple more guys joined the fray and were into them before their fifth casts.

I don’t this you could’ve waded out there and not stepped on a dozen or so fish. It never slowed down in the four hours I was there. I had four more on in the next two hours and did more talking and watching others land fish than I did have line in the water. I picked up the blushing hen on EZ Eggs, I swear they need to start paying me for this sh*t. I used my sparkel rag to upper jaw her with the same EZ Eggs I started the day with.

All in all I have never seen a day like today. Like I said in a previous post I was in a drought with nothing landed for a few trips….. well that all changed today. I hope this keeps up because I will be there tomorrow after work. I even got to try out the new gutting station and that was nice, fish stick to the board and and it is solid for trimming the bits. Till the next time, tight lines…

    Bear, just let me know if Thursday or Friday will be best. I can do either. Floating a river locally the day I’m not over there. Thanks for the 411 big man.

    Looking at water conditions for our local tribs has not given me much hope that they’ll clear up in time for Friday. Bear I am making the call to head to you for my fishing on Friday. Heller if you want to fish that way on Friday I’ll be headed to river X.

    I may end up doing a lot of hiking and trying idfferent spots but it sounds like conditions are too good to pass up.

    Anyone else?

    Nook, the river is ugly right now but looks better than yesterday, so lets hope for a change to the positive tomorrow. I will keep giving updates to H3llcat as I see the river change.

    I will be out there let me know where and what time you plan on being there. I will make sure to bring the fly with me, maybe you guys can get me moving in the right direction with that thing.

    I will see you there. The water greened up nice and flowing like crazy, lots of fish should have moved up and more should come in with it like this.
