Day On The River With My Son

[akoop]

Since my son was home from college for the holidays and we had a free day we hit the river for a few hours. Air temp was 36 and the water temp was 38. The river was running high but clear.

We managed to land 8 nice rainbows and 1 brown in a few hours of fishing. Even though the water temp was cold these fish seemed very active and were slamming our lures and once hooked put up a great fight! All fish released as always.

Here are a few photos...

Cold water or not at some point the fish do have to eat. They eat less frequently in the winter but they still do eat. :) It's likely that the front moving in brought the temps up a bit yesterday and got them turned on. Cool outing.
