Oct. 5th Bow: Police-->mck

[duanec]

ah, so the day starts with a 7am call that the lads are not coming after all [nice], so it's just me & the pooch. that's ok, like the solo days once in a while.

prepping at police as the sun was just starting to burn through the fog.

 

i tried to throw a few casts as i pulled out, not 100 yds dwnstrm & i hook a really nice brown. completely unprepared and it's complete gong show to run the oars and play a good fish, and we parted company soon. i pulled over and watched some others drift by...

it was purdy so i stayed to enjoy the morning and finish off another coffee

 

a little while later i stopped to work a few runs and had some interest in a boatman.

this rainbow did not want a portrait taken...um, nice action shot?

i managed to use a rod holder and hooked a few while rowing. most were safe, including another good brown that had me into my backing quickly.

working another run i landed this brown, which was the fish of the day...

the morning was very warm and bright, but by 2 the predicted front moved in and action for me slowed considerably.

landed 7 in total and had lots of ldr's. most landing success was when stopped & working a run but did manage to land a few on the fly.

saw action on a prince, the boatman, copper john & and a sjw.

by the time the floatilla were taking out at mck. a little squall was brewing and it was considerably cooler.

good day though, had lots of time to enjoy the scenery and the blazing golds of the season.

love being on the water this time of year, and hope to get out a couple more before ice up.

cheers!
