Steelheading: Week #13

With the short week home, We didn't get to see much water at home this week...

Saturday was a Christmas Party...though lots of local waters fished...a group swinging struck out, but several others on Nymphs and Indicators cleaned up...

Sunday I managed to coarse Justin out of working the shop to fish...

The morning was a mistake...between miles of walking for only a few casts, we found a few canoes wanting to play leap frog with us for holes...which meant a 5 minute jaunt for them was a 25 minute ordeal for us. After 2 holes of that, and about 3 miles down river (crowds took for the first 1.5 miles), we called it quits...and yours truly took a shitter on the way back...yeah...the morning sucked...and we had no fish notched onto our belts...

The afternoon we moved closer to home and were able to scare up a few...

Justin bagged them all, with 1 indie fishing (Pheasant Tail), and 2 swinging an egg sucking leach. I had a few grabs, but almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades...

Anyways, waters are low close to home...with visibility about 2'. Many reports from the week reported that fishing has been very consistent on the home waters...

Anyways, here's Justin's fish porn...All fish were bright as dimes and ran like monkeys on cocaine...
