after a really long break from river fishing , it feels good to get back at it. i took gavin down to one of my favorite rivers wednesday after school. we planned on grouse hunting but we threw in a few rods for the hell of it. the river looked great so we though we would take a few casts. i saw 5 steelhead laying in the first hole i came up on. the first 4 casts had 4 chasers that wouldn't commit. all i had were spinners { somebody forgot there floats, what a dumb ass! } so after successfully spooking all the fish we went to the next hole and fishpimp jr whacked a nice little steelie. it was a really hot fish. it was great to see him in action again. he doesn;t get out much anymore with his insane soccer schedule. { he is a goal keeper and plays 2 years up on a u-14 premier team, it is really time consuming}
so i went back down the next morning and i was throwning a 1/8oz pimp shrimp in pink/white. i popped a fish right away, it also went nutzzz. dang it felt good, as i was fighting it there were 2 other fish ping-ponging around the hole. i let it rest for a half hour or so and threw back in there. the fish freaked at the sight of me and exploded down stream and left the hole. did i mention the river is frickin teeny, i have taken a piss bigger then it. so i went down a few holes and i saw a steelhead in about 2 feet of water rise up and slurp a fly off the surface. only the second time i have ever seen that before. really really cool. i tossed spinners at him and he didn't care, i threw on the pimp shrimp and first pass he killed it. he was rather spastic, i loved it.
so i went back with my dad the next day, he got there before i did and fished threw where i knew some fish were, nothing. so i came behind him with the pimp shrimp again and pulled one small hen about 4 -5 lbs on my 3rd cast. i spotted a few more but they saw me and wouldn't cooperate. so i had a great week. gonna get after them some more next week o-boy i can't waite.
all i have are cell phone pictures ill throw them up in a little bit.

Nice work there Steve and son! I once hooked the same fish 3 times at the spot your son is standing - dang thing was so hot broke me off twice and the third time spit the hook cartwheeling 4 feet up in the air There are worse things then getting your arse handed to you by a hot summer run Glad to see you're back at it! |
