Took a vacation day today due to an annual fire inspection in the condo. Someone had to be home so I took a day and was off to the river at 9:30 once the inspection was done.
Got to mid river just before 10:30 to see the river hadnt changed since Saturday. It was still quite low and clear and a beautiful morning with not many people in sight. Fished my way down as far as I wanted and was back at the car 3 hours later without a bite. Only saw 3 others the whole time, it was great despite the lack of action.
Headed lower down and fished about 3 more hours with the same success. I was tossing spoons today and really tried to cover a lot of water. I never consider a day out a waste whether I catch something or not but good god, I could use a steelhead. I forget what the tug feels like. I didnt get one all last season despite 13 trips out allbeit that some were short trips. Today was trip 6 of this season and still nothing.
I could use a big, fat slump buster but I still love to get out and will continue to do so.
