Saturday was a real adventure for Tim and Justin. We had perfect weather. Summer Sun and a small breeze. The pattern continued for the generation schedule of a little high water in the morning and perfect fish water in the afternoon. About 9:30 am we had dropped the anchor for a bathroom break and a little rigging. Justin's rod was in the boat but his fly's were in the water. He went up to the front of the boat to use the restroom and when he came back his rod was gone. We were sick about it. We think maybe a fish pulled it in! The water was still high and we could not see the rod and reel anywhere. Then we caught a break and saw the two strike indicators. Justin dove in and came up with the leader around his toe! The water was so cold it knocked the breath out of him. We saved the rod and continued to pound on the fish. They caught close to a hundred fish. A few of them where super nice fish, including a nice brown and rainbow by Tim and a couple of pig rainbows by Justin. It fires me up to see some 17 and 18 inch rainbows in our river! I know they are there, but you just don't see them. Maybe our new trout management plan in working after all.
