Last week I was out for three days. Day two I headed out with a boatload of guys and set up the lines. Like the day before, we were busy with small fish til about 10:00am when they decided to take a little break, then it was back at it a little while later. Again we were waiting for that window of opportunity. Sure enough, in the early afternoon, we hooked into a small trout, then another, then another, then the line pulled way back again and released. We had gotten another nice trout on. We quickly landed the three small trout, to make way for the bigger fish. It turned out to be an 11lb Gerrard. Soon after that, we boated a 7lb trout as well. It turned out that by the end of the day we landed 25 fish including the ugliest Bull Trout I've ever seen. He had obviously just came off the spawn a month or so ago, and had not yet recovered. He had the head of a 15lber, but the body of an 8 lber. All his fins were worn and torn up, and he still had an orange belly. We let him go back to recover and hopefully spawn another day. Wish I had taken a picture of him for you. Day three I headed out with three guys. The fish were moody. We picked away at a few small fish but were still waiting. I put a plug out straight behind the boat, attached it to the downrigger and put it down 15 ft. We were in the cabin staying nice and warm, talking away when I heard a sound that seems familiar. Finally my brain clicked into gear that it was a reel peeling off line. Three of us dove for the line at the same time. After a five minute of battle however it came unglued. Major bummer!!! We ended the day with a couple more fat Bull Trout for the BBQ. In total we landed 51 fish in 3 days. I'm back out the end of this week. Will keep in touch. Brad
