Had a day off Thursday and wanted to shift gears a bit so off I went to my favorite trout area. Hit a new spot on a river I've been to before. First spot, first cast, boom! Nice rainbow!
After that, I started working my way upstream, which was definitely a challenge at some spots. Let's just say, the only thing dry on me was the backpack I was carrying, lol. Commando fishing at its finest!! Found my way up to the base of a small falls with a nice pool below. Caught another nice rainbow and a 15" smallie here. Smallie managed to escape before I got a pic.
On the way back down I was able to work some spots a little better and was rewarded with 3 more rainbows. One was every bit of 16/17" and fat!! Best part was watching him go full airborne as he hit my lure! Luckily he stayed on and I got him in!
Best part was, as I got back to the first spot I hit when I got started, took one last cast and hooked a beauty of a Brookie!! Perfect ending to a great day on the crik'.........
