Stave River, November 14th 2008: Sea-run Cutties
« on: November 14, 2008, 04:15:57 PM »

I got my first one!  I was actually fishing for Coho on the Stave (away from the gong show) and wasn't having any luck when I noticed some small rises.  First cast yielded a couple of tugs, second cast showd a boil right beside where my fly hit the water and third cast was a fish on!   Put up a great little fight and came to hand a couple of minutes later.  My first Searun was a beautiful 13" fish.  More fish showed but I couldn't get second time lucky.

My favorite time to target these guys are around july/august. No one is around and they are plenty. Just watch them school up the fry and go nuts. One every cast.
