Anticipating a good day of fishing, both Khim and I decided to get up a bit early. As usual, we stopped by MacDonalds for a quick coffee and tea to keep the hands warm.
When we got down to where we wanted to fish, I quickly snapped a shot of Brown Road. It reminded me of sockeye fishing..fence posting.

I quickly rigged up my usual Jensen Eggs with Pink wool and made my first cast into the riffles. On my third cast the float took a quick dive and I set the hook and the battle was on. The fish took off towards shore and when it felt bottom, it decided to head downstream. This was a strong fish as it kept heading down. It took me about 10 minutes for me to control the fish and bringt it in. It was about a 12lb wild buck.

At this time, someone had steped into my spot so I decided to head down further.
I made a few casts and quickly had another quick take down.
This was another fiesty fish as it jumped and jumped. It took another 10 minutes and I brought it in.
This was about a 12lb wild doe.

I thought to myself, wow this is an amazing day!!!
It slowed down a bit after that as I kept walking down. I decided to lenghten the depth a bit more and on my first cast, the float took a strange dip and I pulled back with nothing.
I made another cast into the same spot and sure enough the float took another hard dive. I set the hook and the battle was on.
This was a smaller fish and I was able to bring it in quickly. It was about an 8lb hatchery buck.
With the hockey game on a 12pm, I decided to disptach off the fish and went home.

Nice work coho man! I managed to get out today with Stratocaster. This was our first time out for steelies so it was nice to get out and explore. Met up with some great guys from this forum... ;) My first fish of the year was a nice bonus:
