hitting Never sink on the gunnie all day it's fishon......
Reports of salmon, and fat rainbows.....
Kind of slow. Got nice rainbow off the bat on cadiss nymph, then slow. Afternoon tied on green beaded wooly bugger weighted down for deep strip and hooked into a huge monster.
That fish slammed that bugger hard as hell and ran deep up stream and back down reel singing 6 wt St Croux 9 ft. Bank robber streamer rod bent to max. The fish must have wrapped line around rock or branch deep as line was snagged and despite efforts to free line broke. I saw a brief flash, that monster was 25 inches plus easy fighting mad as hell felt like an anvil on end of line.
The memory of the river yesterday brings tears to my eyes. all day long it was me and 2 buddies, 1 boat drifted by so we had this clear incredible waters all to our selfs. the fall colors were on, and the day was over in a flash.
Days like that make life worth living. I know for sure spending time on the river keeps me sharp. Been fishing with more than kids 1/2 my age, they tell me it's amazing for anyone of any age to cover as much water wading as I do. The mind needs to be excercised like the body. balancing all day on slippery rocks, casting, constantly thinking being one with the river and loving every minute keeps one sharp. I will live forever keeping this up''''
