Headed out late this morning as I had to get the car going... made it to river around 10. As I worked down thru the run had a couple rather aggressive hits on roes sacks that caught me off guard, and I somehow missed them both. After working thru that section for a while and nothing... worked down river another 50 yards or so and had another tap real close to shore, with a real quick head shake then gone... so I threw on my last roe sack, and worked a bit further out for a couple casts and float slams down, solid this time and got a good head shake and the fight was on. After a good tussel that involved lots of aerials, this nice lil 7 or so pound hatch doe came to hand...

I decided to let her go to fight another day, and I got nothing more for the last 30 mins or so I had to fish. Maybe I'll get back out again for the last hr of light... we shall see. :)

Lol :D I have a lot more time to fish tomorrow... And would love another multi steel day... ;D

Chromer fish, well done. So good to see a fresh report out and wish it would of been me. But alas, work and family has limited my time out for now. Thank you for the report though and the wonderful pic's.

Lol...I have done ok. I'm happy with the way this first month back Steelheading again after 3 or so years off has gone. Was a slow starter, I went like 0 for 7 to start I think. Last 6 days out have been good to me. ;) Who knows what today will hold... raining now and is supposed to rain a lot later on today. Unless I get a bonafide keeper, I'll probably stay out till it blows. :D
