Well here is the skinny on my day. Stayed home a little longer due to the rain. Got to the river at 8. I fished down from where Charlie, HT and Gerry fished for salmon earlier this year. No luck for the first while on blue and Oregon, sucker spawn, Moved to pink estaz and no luck. I switched to a very small peach egg with a bead above it and it was game on. I went 3 for 5 with 2 browns and a steel, along with 4 palm size rainbows/steel, one steel I lost trying to tail it.. Browns were spawning and that's what they were feeding on. On the way back to the car I see a brown that has passed on and in the water. It was very fresh and not even stiff yet. I brought it home and took the eggs. Meat looked good, but did not dare eat it. Made a good treat for the barn cats.
Those steel were the most acrobatic I have seen. I seemed like they came out of the water 10 times and jumped 3 feet in the air. It was a site to watch.
One boat passed and he said he did ok up in town, but not so well after the trestle, he hooked up 100 yards down from us.
