Sun hits part of the river at 9 am .... feel it's warmth across your face , takes the chill out . Begin again, drifting the large hole , very quiet ...no surfacing or wakes to speak of .
Put secret weapon on the hook .... running a 4 foot lead off the float , centre of hole ..... and ...... a bump and float is under , set the hook and the water erupts with thrashing head shakes .... the fish are awake !
Three friends , 9 fish landed , 5 fish lost .... all Chinooks . When you see your float bounce and wobble , then get buried like a Steelhead hammered it and up comes an angry Chinook .. almost as good as Steelheading .... but not quite .
