"i see london, i see france, i know wherer jason was fishing at"
and i wish i was there. im gonna go this week. good job, i bet it was really tough conditions.
that's a good one Steve!
I'm sure you do know where that was at; question is - which pic gave it away - the picture of London or France?
Good luck when you go, hopefully the water is in a little better shape for you. If I would have been fishing all day I'm sure more hookups would have come, but judging by the complete lack of success from talking with other anglers, I felt lucky for my fish per 3 hours average- under the conditions. I covered some tough miles in the time I did fish, with the high water wading was Tough and I had to find some new routes through the bush to access a couple of favorite stretches - due to changes in the river. I totally missed out on fishing a long stretch of primo water due to not being able to cross the river.
BTW, all fish were hooked on spinners, which is my goal for the season - get back to the roots. I have always had a fondness for fishing with hardware, but have gotten away from it for some time. I've always fished coho with metal, but for steelhead have been throwin floats. The versatility of float fishing has a lot going for it, plus jigs are a lot cheaper to lose than the good hardware
Hook to land ration on float/jig has always seemed really good too, but this past week I started 3/3 then lost the next 2, still 3/5 is acceptable on hot summer runs. Had one of the fish actually cartwheel onto shore, then flip back into the water to make 2 more runs and 2 more cartwheeling leaps! And my wife wonders at my fascination with the critters...
