Sounds good, Clint. I'm doing similar- stones 8-12. About finished with the egg/spawn collection for the year. That means I'll run out of blue about March, on a day when they're all running big and that's all they want. It's not funny, because it's true. Well , it is funny if you're fishing with me and you have some blue. Happened last year and still haunts me. HT was fishing above me and killing them, he lands a few beauties and feels sorry for me. He's said blue to me so many times he's turning it. He lets me take his place. I tie on my last blue egg and drift it into a little depression behind a boulder in the middle of a good seam. Sure as ****, first drift line stops and I raise the rod just enough. The fish raises up off the bottom and takes off across river. Bright Chrome and over 3 feet. The guys across the river scream like little girls, or was that my echo?, anyway, I overtighten my **** and my line hand simultaneously and it's all over. The guys across the river are all "Man, that was a big fish", making me feel so much better.
I better tie more blue.
