11/26/14

Got up  there just after the crack of dawn and above the rock was loaded, but no one else. Settled into my usual spot and the fishing was pretty darn good until about 1000. Then it shut down and you had to work at it hard. Double digit hook ups  for today for me. I fished until about 1230. Got a MONSTER  and I hope the pictures do it justice. Will post back later when I have time.

    L the one I should have because it caught like a boot, I thought it was a brown. 1: I wound not know what to look for and 2: Handling the fish by myself I really could not get a good look without potential damage.  Been having a bad day. Cable in my boot broke, watch broke  and to top it all off I slid into the ditch tonight and had to be winched out. Went to Oswego to visit my granny and  was going done a laugh hill.  Slid once going 20mph, 100 yards later slide again going 10mph mph and then slid the final time into the ditch going about 5mph. Nothing hurt , but my pride and my checkbook for the tow. Will post the pics in a bit.

    Ouch, sorry to hear that.  You paid some heavy dues for double digits hookups. 
     
    You're right about poking around the gills, not easy to do without potential for damage. Doh!

    I will separate by fish since you can only get 3 pics per post.
    This pic does not give this fish justice, it is easily mid teens or a bit more. I could not get my hand around it's tail to pick it up.  The head is half way up the net for comparison of the others

    This one fought like a brown, but swam away strong

    So I am finally home relaxing. Day started out good, but ended bad. Fish were hitting a variety of stuff today, seemed like when I changed up I would get a hit. Sucker spawn in white, pink bead stone fly, small green sedge fly nymph and a variety of colors of steelhead hammers. Less fish  taken in the faster water than in the pool itself. Had a very nice bright fish on and noticed my line was wrapped around the tip and had to break it off. The majority of fish were darker, but every now and then a bright one would show, most fish were good fighters and provided some acrobatics.  Got my car winches out, got my boot fixed and got my pies made. I may go out quick in the am, do not know.

    Do you have BOA laces, Clint? Tough day, but nice fish. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. You'll get them next week, Jack.

    Yea those cables are $10 a piece. Not too bad to change. Boots are getting a bit best, probably should have just gotten a new pair. Been wanting 1/2 size larger. DB I was thinking of there tomorrow...........

    Just a suggestion, Clint, but bring your waders, the socks you'll use and a Hot Feet package with you to get the new boots. Some boots are narrower than others, especially in the critical toe box, and you want to make sure of plenty of room for circulation. Some of the boots I've had have been worthless in the winter because they were too restrictive, even though they were a little over sized.
