Hit the Fraser today with my fishing buddy...yahoo....
This was actually my the first time out hunting for Big Red's (or any fish for that matter) since my baby boy was born back in April so I had a real sense of anticipation about me. Upon arrival, I saw that the river conditions after the rain of the last few day's left water visibility at maybe 6 inches, however, the river was not overly large or fast by my estimation (again, first time out, so it's not like I had anything to compare it to).
We arrived bright and early and by 6:30 or so and we started chucking the gear into the drink. We were not rewarded for the first few hours, save for 2 brief hook ups (neither of which were mine). Around lunch time, my buddy cleared the lane down the way with a "fish on" call. This time he had one dead to rights and after a spirited fight he beached a 32 pound Spring.
Not long after, it was my turn and I was able to land his twin brother - a dead match 32 pound buck, a beauty of a silver bright specimen.
All and all, a good day considering there were very few other hook up's spotted, but word on the street was that today seemed slower than it has been...
