reevesr1 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 A few shots from today. Fished with Troutlover, got a little retribution. We both hooked big fish. I had one get me 75% through my backing, straight downstream in big current, no way to chase. I ended up just putting the brakes on and broke it off. Jared hooked a big one as well, two big head shakes and gone. Biggest one we landed was right at 20. After I caught this fish, we pondered if we had anything to "match the hatch." As it turns out, we did: Caught this guy literally right off the bank. Darkest rainbow I've ever caught: Probably the biggest of the day: Sure is easy to land them when the water is 4" deep on the bank! The river is a raging torrent of death right now. Sure is fun!

I was out today as well walking the banks and ran into a few myself Hit this one pushing 22" This one took a new type of worm that I've been playing around with roughly the same size and this one swinging a small bugger pushing 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesr1 Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Sure are getting fat aren't they? Nice fish Lawrence! I sure wish I had landed that one that got me deep into my backing. I may have given that 24 a run for it's money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny5 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 WOW! those are some really nice fish! Might have to "catch a cold" and have a sick day soon, but the river looks like pooh where I went by it today... I am guessing these were caught in the grass mostly.?!? Quick(ish) thought here: Someone on this board mentioned using a center pin (can't remember who)... anyways, this would seem to be a perfect time to use it... if your interested in giving it a try in this high water let me know, and maybe I would be able to join you and help you out with the drift gear terminal tackle and might just bring out a drift rod my self...
