WOW

Got in very late Monday
   Tuesday was one of those days a Sportsman can never forget.
   Woke to steady  light rain and some thunder so slept in and then watched the back yard over coffee for a long time. The Deer just kept coming and coming to eat my apples and grasses - right  till the rain stopped mid morning. Then  mowed for a few hours.
 In the Afternoon went  mid lower  River and the fish were THERE. Folks,  fished till  was bone weary and worn out in the mid 80s heat. Just wore felt bottom shoes and jeans.
  Please believe me- hundreds upon hundreds of fish ran up in front of me from bank to bank and as far up and down as I could see-most running  very fast- like that for HOURS. VERY strong and willing fish- no problem with releases - they just took right off again- Fresh, bright  and all with the fin.
 The first was a very respectable Steelhead then King after King. As spotty as this time of year can get it was really nice to be in the right spot at the right time.
   Today went further up and then much further up looking for that big bunch- no go.
 Went back lower to a decent steady pick in the area visited yesterday. Fished till worn out again.
  Was gonna fish tomorrow Am then come home but its out 43rd Anniversary  so  came back today. Some things ya just gotta do- lol.
 Bugged out bout 5 and rain most of the way back to CT. Was in the mid 80s in Pulaski and mid 60s bout 30 miles out in the rain.
 Trips up are always nice but this was AWESOME.

Pretty sure I know where they were- just too hot and lazy to walk in that far lol. They were so fast think they got up pretty far overnight  before the bright sun and heat slowed them down today. IMHO
 Should point out  was well above the crowds so these fish were what was left AFTER the keepers got to them. Still bright shiny and runnin hard in great numbers too.
 Had it on my mind that last year some attributed the lower to mid  river heavy natural spawn to the water levels- gotta wonder though.

good stuff...counting down
 

 Glad to hear you got into them. I have a couple of trips planned but already mentioned to my son how were going to be sick next friday from work and school. I'm sure we will get into them some where we sure don't mind walking.

Trevor , great report  sounds like a great couple of days   Congrats 
 

Was kinda neat- this is the first year I havent put out salt and corn in the backyard just to get to watch them.- They stopped coming around a couple of years back and got tired of feeding Racoons and Crows.
 Tuesday morning was a real show and rather surprising.
 After a few years of not even buying a tag up there perhaps -if this continues- I may again next season. ( ct is loaded with deer no real need to look further- lol)

Nice report Trevor.. Awesome to hear you did well in a relaxing setting.. Nothing beats outdoors activity when things remain mellow and the rewards are high .
I tried to mark this thread as helpful .. Hope I didn't hit spam instead , dumb phone operator ..
Anyway .. Hope everyone here who hasn't gotten a tug from a lake O king does so soon
Seems like a great season so far..I will see the river soon and hope to share water with all !!

Thats one heck of a report RG. I feel the sickness starting to spread. Next week it may finally put me down. Keep em coming.
 
Thanks
