Ventured out this last Saturday in search of small creek Kings. After hooking one last weekend and nearly loosing life and limb its about all I can think of to fish for right now. This last fish I hooked took off upriver and performed two aireal combat moves before heading like a rocket downstream. At that point I was able to fight him for a bit before a disappointing long distance release due to a poor hookset I imagine. Wow, that was too much fun. However, today I did not spot one fish, and only saw one come to hand on the strech of water I was fishing. The weather was outstanding, and the water was clear.
After that long day of hiking I took the kids to the park and put the float tube in the Tualatin River that runs by it. Remember, keep your mouth closed and throw the fish back. I feel it may be a bit of a dirty river!!! Here is the little bugger I was able to find.
That sounds like a blast. There's nothing quite like big fish in small creeks.
