[leaping steely]

Vedder was blown out. I just had to get my line wet, so i dragged Big T to the Stave River First glance, and it didn't look very good. High water, but still somewhat fishable. Well, a couple casts and Big T gets a small cutty, which was quickly released. Funny thing, after he released that cutty, the bites stopped. I was casting away in some slack water, and it paid off. After about 45 minutes, my float totally sinks. I set the hook, and at first i'm thinking a big squaw. After jumping 3 times, finally landed it. It was a Chrome Jack Spring. I guess that's what you call "Short Floating" Big T and I have never seen a live Spring before at Stave. I'm amazed that the #9 hook stayed hooked into the mouth. After, that, it was fairly slow. I landed a rainbow and cutty, which were both released, and Big T landed a good sized Squaw. A slow day, but rewarding.

we on the other hand did not have any luck
all i took was my trout spining outfit and did not find any willing takers
my buddy at work was talking about all the jack springs he caught there last year and said it should soon be coming on.

Is there good numbers of Springs or Jack springs in the Stave? Big T and I have never seen a live one until Sunday, but then again, we never looked.
