Title: paydirt on the fraser, aug 16/08
Post by: jetboatjim on August 16, 2008, 05:54:04 PM
well fished from 5:30 am till 2:30 pm missed at least 5 other fish, but managed to kill this beauty on a green top. pretty busy out there but only seen one other fish killed. river was quite coloured and was dropping fast, seen a few boats get stuck as the river dropped.

Beauty fish...

I was out there today too. Fished from 5:30am to about 1pm with nothing to show for it.

I've come to the conclusion i need a boat...

.. or my friends need to buy a boat.. either one...

Wow, Is it a full moon?  ???

My buddy just bought the hip wader neos because he has an infected injury on his knee so he can't get it wet or dirty...  ie put it in contact with fraser water.

The 35 degree heat was a lot easier to take knowing that he had a 42.5 spring sitting in the cooler.....  ;D  ;D  ;D

So all the sweat in the hip waders wouldnt affect it?


I actually knew it was a full moon......   :)

Yes I'm sure the sweat doesn't help but when ya gotta fish, ya gotta fish,  right?

mylar wings and green top.
