BEST ONE YET.

On Wednesday I have decided to take a quick trip to the river.  I wanted to check out the low flow conditions.  I was still a little sore emotionally from uneventful weekend trip (just one hook up, none landed).  Got at the river at 5 PM.  Nobody around.  All quiet.  This time I have switched from 8lb test line to 6lb test line and switched the float to a small 4 gram clear Redwing float.  Started casting with a small white jig.  I've had one hook after about 15 minutes but the fish turned and got free.  Started with a different smaller yellow jig.  No action.  Then tried a white tube jig.  Got a few hits on it but no hook up.  I've started loosing light quickly.  Then decided to switch to a chartreuse 1/16oz jig that I've bought the day before for a dollar for 10 pack (funny).  Got a hit immediately and a beautiful hook up.  The fish was hooked solid.  I have landed a nice 25 inch buck at 5:58 PM.  Released it and started casting again on the other side of the hole.  I've got a hit and a hook up on the second cast. A beautiful female just short of 30 inches.  My first female Steelhead of the season.  I was so excited.  AWESOME DAY my best one so far! Good luck mates.  I knowit has been a

QUICK TRIP

Amazing.  A quick trip to the Rocky last week.  I just had just about an hour so I've decided to take a look at the river and snap a few pictures.  I took a spare short rod with me just to get it wet.  The flow was about 550 cf and water was higher and muddy.   Arrived at the Cedar Point Rd. area and found only one guy fishing.  He seemed to be done with one area and moving to another and asked if I could taker over his spot.  He agreed.  I have only taken a couple of tube jigs with me just to satisfy my urge to get the line wet.  I went with a white tube jig and got a hit with the second cast.  A shy bite took the float slowly under the water and I've decide to set the hook.  I've hooked a nice little skipper about 18 inches and landed it quickly.  The guy that left the spot just a few minutes ago was a little surprised.  He just fished it thoroughly with spawn sacs with no results.   I was very excited because I did not have any expectation of catching anything that day.  Amazing that you spend an entire day fishing with no results and sometimes all it takes is  a couple of casts.
