As the river was a loss this morning I decided to head to work and get some OT, then got some things done around the house and finally decided that I would go out to the river and have a look around 1ish to find it had a slight green tint and about a foot of vis... so I threw on a big worm and worked a lower river run. Nothing. Headed back up to the top as the river was cleaning up nicely and worked all the way down again with a roe sack.. and again, nothing even tho the water was starting to look very nice....went back up river for a 3rd time and continued having faith in the roe sacks that had done so well for me recently... but alas, I had made it thru the prime water and again nothin.. so I decided to head down river to a deeper slot and throw a nice gold blade on and work that area a bit...first cast over in front of a log, seem to be getting a good drift thru there and bam float down and the fight was on. Put up a good tussle but did come to hand... and nice 7-8lb hatch doe...Mmmm dinner. So she got dispatched, filled out my license and headed home.... watching the wife bread the fillet's up right now... potato wedges and fresh Steel... ;D

Well done DMW, nice fish and great pic's, Thanks !!!

If we don't get much rain tonight, the river should suck so bad tomorrow... and everyone should just stay home, no point in driving out considering how bad it will probably be.... ;)

how much weight do you put on with that spinner?
or do you add any weight?
-
It was fished under a float. So just like a normal drift with a bit of a hold back. :)

Nice one Dave. You are really having a great season so far. Glad to see that my spinners are working well for you.
