  • vedder sucks tell your friends.

i was out for the first time on friday morning, the water was beautiful, i had to leave by 8 so i only got about an hour of decent fishing, but i hooked into one for a short period but i didnt get a very good hookset and she unbuttoned herself.

"she unbuttoned herself"

LOL.   ;D  I thought we are on a fishing site. I didn't have the luck to 'unbutton' any on Saturday fishing from first light.  ;D

Nothing for me or anyone I met in the lower section.  Water was great in the morning but turned milky mid-day. This is a steelhead year most people would like to forget.  My local old timer friend who is retired and fishing everyday used to fill his card but still without one hatchery this year and very few hookups too. This is definitely a 'ssssllllllooooowwww' year.

Water was not looking too good a few minutes ago, heavy rain and very windy.

That is okay, I just  used my Sage 7116 with my ABU 7000C filled with 30lbs test and 25lbs leader and 8"  Hot Pink Jake the Snake with 5/0 Owner hook will be slaying them. ;D

Water was in good shape today, got a bit cloudy during different parts of the day but was between 2ft to clear depending on where you fish, tomorrow may hold out if the rain starts later but I think it will be clay after that if this rain comes.
