Chilliwack River, February 4th 2010
« on: February 04, 2010, 07:25:41 PM »

Put in another good day and was rewarded right at the end!  After flogging my usual circuit, I decided to explore some new water and found a small, shallow seam beside some heavy rapids.  I wasn't expecting much as it was quite unassuming and I was pretty tired after hiking for most of the day.  I tied on my lucky jig and after a few drifts, the float dipped!  Halfheartedly setting the hook, I felt a good sized fish on the other end.  Unfortunately, that one was not to be as she spat the hook and fled.  A few more drifts with the jig produced nothing, so I switched over to a small roe bag and that was the ticket!  A short tussle produced this beauty.  Luckily, a gentleman walking by was kind enough to snap a photo for me.

lol.  I actually cropped it off myself, I had the sleaziest look on my face  :D.  Funny how contorted your face can get when you're excited.

Haven't caught any hatches yet myself, but there's plenty of time left  :)
