10/14/12

Well I was not going to go up, but the sun came out and I could not help myself.  Only fished for 2 hours or so.   Fished from the bend above the tall bridge  to the staircase.   I was fishing for steel targeting some faster water and pockets.  Moving along trying to hit as much water as I could.   Fresh silver Ho's here on stringers as well as kings,  couldn't sell all of them but it looked to be a mix of clipped and unclipped fish .    I saw no steel on stringers.   1 nice brown looking to be 7 to 8 lb was on a stringer.   I had one small take, but it was either a chub or a smaller bow or brown bout 8 or 9 inches,  did not get it in.   All fish I saw landed were not takers if you know what I mean.   Seen alot of mishandling of fish today, holding them up for pics and then just throwing them back in to float downstream.   It was nice to see the water up.

I saw 2 people fight kings for quite a while, hold them up for pics and do NOTHING to revive them.  Just drop them and kick them into the current.  Both floated belly up.  
 
BTW  I saw alot more females today than in the last few weeks, before it would be 3 or 4 to 1 and today it was more of a 50/50 mix

amazing difference last week end to this one
last week end i'd never seen more fish or more fish caught
this w/e i caght a few, happy caught a few other than that i saw very few fish caught
last week you waited in line for an hour to have fish cleaned, behind 15 full stringers...this week a guy or two with 1 on the string
last week the barrel hole stretch had a few hundred fish many on redds, this week one old zombie
on the good side i did find a bunch of chromers, got several steelies and lost a couple more :)
