Back out today. Hit a spot I hadn't been to yet this year, which seems to be a theme with me lately, haven't hit the same spot twice pretty much all year. Woke up late so no use tryin where I was yesterday. So off on a nice walk I go. Made to one run that only had a couple guys in it, but I didn't really like the looks of taht run so I kept on goin. Finally, hit a nice spot I had walked by a couple times in the last couple years and decided to give it a go. There was a nice old guy from the hatchery on the other side so we had a chat as I rigged up. I get a couple casts in and not much happening for me, old dude across the river is havin a time though. He is into 3 coho before I even got a sniff... But to make a long story short... I wound up losing something really chrome in the 8-9 lb range then hit a couple Coho, one wild and one hatchery. The hatchery one was more a big jack I would say. Then nothin really happening after that. So I headed on down further and wound up hitting a real nice chrome Buck Spring of about 30+. After a nice spirited tussle that wore us both out, I let him slip back into the run to rest and relax!!
Anyhow, that was my day. So fish, all chrome and a lot of exercise. Everything hit on roe. Spring and Chum roe to be exact. Or.. white and red Spring roe and some chum roe to be even more exact.
