Today's hint of Rain got more then just me excited, I arrived at the River at about 2:00 this afternoon to find five other rigs and two at the other trail head.

Upon hitting the Dike and heading up river I ran into Marty again we B.S.ed a bit and I could see several other guys above so I decided to venture down stream. I didn't see much other then a bunch of Chum, I then ran into Jaime(Maverick) it was nice to finally meet you in person Jaime, did you hook up with any thing above?

As I worked my way back up river I hit a nice seam and had a little pop at my float set the hook nothing stole my Prawn Hmmmm, now I'm stoked as most Bobber Downs have been the old kerplunk straight down take from the Salmon lately, so I re prawn and on my second cast bobber down it turned out to be this little guy, oh well at least it was some action, and that was it for the day as darkness set in.

Pretty Fish

What a pretty little guy John.  Check it out, he's so heavily spotted, he even has them on the adipose fin!  Let's go find his bigger, older cousin!!

Lets go I'm always looking, just not always seeing

[Mavrick]

yeah Fish it was nice to meet you also.... Did not touch a thang   to bad we did not get to shoot the **** a little more but it was around 3:15 and time was of the essance.. As we were talking and i puting another 10 min in that hole thinking about the next hole up ...  as i crossed the tailout to start upstream that stealthy Redhook was up on the levee side of that drift working his jiggy-thang you must have walked right past him. anyways he's holding a nice fat 10lb brat hen..  way to go Dean!

Thanks Jaime, and I like the fact you called me stealthy.....I think of myself more as a bumble in the rocks    Anyway, after getting worn out with chums a bit below, I decided to head back up in search of more steelie looking water  .  My first good drift, and it was float down.  This ones a bit more satisfying as it took a homemade maribou jig, tied with the colors I use to make up my steelhead rags.  Pic is not great, but she was a nice bright fish, a solid 9 +     Good seeing you again Jaime
