Put a few hours in this afternoon in beautiful water conditions, far better than yesterday. Tried 3 different spots and finally found one just as the sun was setting. It was a nice bright fish too. I say it "was" as after 4 to 5 minutes of playing the fish very carefully it skillfully separated itself from my hook.

Now I sit at 3 landed for 16 hooked, dismal.

Also saw one steelhead surface the first I have seen this season and also 2 trout just as I was leaving the river as darkness started to close in.
A few anglers out and I know of two nice ones taken as I saw the pictures that were sent to me tonight, both hatcheries too.

Talked to a Spey guy who said he also had hooked two fish.

Talked to enforcement who was out checking anglers and he saw some fish as well.
Conditions should hold for the weekend as it felt like it was near freezing as I made my way to the Leaf Mobile.
