Lucky for me I got one last trip in before all the rivers went over the banks. I went to bed dreaming of steel and pushed my son outa bed early so we could be on the road before any traffic.
When we got to the river found it was just the right height. Color was outstanding although a little on the clear side.
Found this one holding in some whitewater at the head of a fast pool. He hit the reliable wilsonator on the first cast. A quick tug tug and I set the hook hard, then remembered I had light leader on and went for the full ride with it.
Found a few more, and a whole pod with lock jaw before my son and I hit up the jerky store for 40' of the coasts finest. Mmmmmm. Didn't even have to clean it. Now I'm tying up some leaders for plunking some of the Big C chrome, if I can make it out before the closure that is.
