oh what a day!!!
6.40am already 10 cars in the lot. went to my spot to find it empty, few guys to the left, few to the right, but none where i planed on fishing.
still dark, you can barely see the float. good thing i brought my tiny flashlight for tying on hooks. solid hits right of the bat and few 4-5 pounders landed within minutes.
2 broke off, think they were 6-8 range. when roe bite slowed down, pinkie did the magic on the first drift.
then it slowed down again, wind started picking up and it started snowing. changed to my secret fly, first cast, float down..... big splashes, still pretty dark, fight on!! 5 min later pulled the monster out, though it was male salmon, this thing was huge.... not even close to my fish from last week.
didn't take camera this time, was by myself, Dozer got scared by -2 temp and few snowflakes.
then it slowed down for an hour, big winds continued to make fishing not an easy task, had to put on bigger float as it was impossible to cast against wind with 3.5g.
few guys gave up and left the river. soon enough wind was gone and lots of snow made it look like it was reel Christmas on the shore.
got another decent fish, this time took a pic with my iphone, was about to throw it in the river for a no flash option. should of taken my bb.
anyway this fish is way smaller than the one i caught in the dark. overall awesome day, weather conditions made the fishing little tougher, and those who were out could of tested their skills. went 9/12, all lost fish were solid hook ups, bad knot i guess.

efka.....your a machine...or a darn good hunter/fisher....looks like rivers and streams have their advantages....
rain or snow....cold and dark of the morning....no fishing partner......9/12 steelies....incredible!!!!!!!
you have tremendous heart and passion...appears you have the knowledge and skill to match....
a morning of fishing that is a lifetime memory....photos no photos of the larger one....you know what you caught...it will be with you for life.....
now you will want to fish even more :wink:
