Checked this river for the first time today and had a blast in the couple of hours I was there. Must be crazy at the weekend as the car park was full at 2pm on a Monday. Have never had much luck with with the jig under a float before but those chums just hammer it! Only managed to get one chum doe to the shore, mainly due to the sticky drag on my reel. Had one fresh 15 + chum that was a madman. Played it for 25 minutes and, every time I thought it was done it would make another crazy run with several leaps. Eventually I was sure it was done, pretty much belly up, so put the rod down and went to grab the leader and unhook it. Off it went taking my jig with it. The fresher ones definitely deserve a bit more respect! Put on a small pink / silver fly and hooked a Coho first cast a long way out. Lost it on the second roll. For the next hour I kept connecting with fish and losing them immediately to my frustration. As I was putting my gear away I realized that the point of the hook was snapped clean off. What a newb!
