I just can't get enough of this addiction I am hopelessly wired too. We hit the lower in that run everyone knows about hehehe and arrived shortly after daybreak to find 6 or 7 other anglers had beat us to the punch.... on a tuesday??!!!!?? Sure enough, a bunch of retired guys ;D hehehe. Settled in above everyone and began the usual routine, roe bag, prawn tail, blade back to the prawn tail and 2 nd cast with the fresh tail an hour into fishing... I finish my drift start to reel in and wham fish on, no hookset was neccessary but i drove the hook home anyways. A short but fiesty battle ensued and a 9/10 lbs wild doe comes to rest in my hands.
A while later moving down the run i have cycled through the jensen egg and wool, roe bag, gooey bob , prawn tail..... nothin. I decide to make one more cast with the prawn then take a break for coffee and a smoke. I flip a cast into the closest seam and as the float gets to the drifts half way point , down she goes. I set the hook and completey miss the fish. I try two more casts with the prawn through the seam and nothin. Not wanting to give up just yet, on goes a 50/50 hammered colorado and soon it's on it's merry way through that oh so fishy seam. About 10ft past the middle of the drift the float torpedoes down and sideways and I drive the hook home. A very good battle begins, feels like a big fish!!! About 10 mins later I ease another wild doe into the shallows this one a little over 10 lbs, but man she fought like a fish much bigger.
i'll post pics in a bit
left the river around 1:00 very content with my days results. The weather was the best i've seen since..... my god i forget when hehehe and the river is in absolutely PERFECT shape.
as promised....

Was an awsome day! :) Nice fish too. Looks like you founds Big Steels spot, Oh yeah I think I was fishing above you for a bit~ I also had some success landing 2 wilds and helping a guy to release a wild buck pushing 20 pounds, no joke :o .
If you werent on the river today I feel bad for you, seen 10+ landed and 10 more hooked!

Tom You wish!!! The only reason you know about that spot is besause you saw my truck to many times there!!!
And the only reason you fish there is cause I showed you it first ;D
-
are you serious dave? i realize the run changes every year but come on man...... you think after all these (18)years of fishing the river I didn't know about those runs till i saw your truck....... your kidding right?? My second steelhead of the year was hooked in that very spot..... before christmas..... didn't see you there till chris started posting. your hilarious dude I suppose you are the guy that discovered the ranger run and wilson road too??? oh i forgot, searun showed you those LOL. I hope you know i'm just playin here guys, B.S. and I know each other well... still his comments entertain me sometimes LOL

Somtimes you don't have a clue!! ::) ;D You should learn when to shut up as well!! ::) ;D

Nice fish :)I've been chasing steel for 4 years and not sniff ::) ::)
-
Nice fish and nice pic. Congrat for an awesome day out.
4 years without a sniff? Well, I have heard the worst case on steelhead drought. once I met an old guy while I was landing a steelie. He greeted me and told me he had no luck for 7 years. When I questioned where he lived, he point to one of the houses lining the Vedder. I checked his terminal gear & they look okl. Go figure. ???

HEY!!! Thomas,Dave why alwayz the big competition?Remember there is alwayz someone who can do it better than the other guy! Why not pool your knowledge and experiences to improve yourself as a fisherman. Before you become a good rod you must be humbled. Dave I know you from when you first stepped foot in Berry's baits and Thomas I worked with you as well. Fishing should not be a comp. but should be a time for relaxation a stress relief!! I've been around a long time and know alot of good rods and I can tell you theres alot of liners and not many who enjoy the challenge of making them bite. To stake claim to such things as spots on the Vedder is crazy!!!! Hey Tom,Dave hope you understand the joke!!! You can't pull the pink yarn over my eyes. Yep Tom its me Mike S (ex BB+T employee).
P.S. What fly did you catch the 32 pound Nootka spring on and what year?
!!!! YOU MUST SHARE AND COMPARE TO BE SUCCESFULL!!!!
-
Mikeeeee ... wass up and what the heck are you doing on the internet LOL... I like it.... callin a spaded a spade ;D . come to nootka with me this summer and i'll show ya 8) . Call me i'm gonna p.m. you my number, we can go hammer some metal. hitting it up tomorrow and hey.... all the spots are mine.... stay off my river hahaha ;D
-
where the hell has this post gone.... Dave .... I have P.M.'d you about your apparent "issue"
and for those of you who are reading this and wondering WTF? i ask myself the same question, my comments towards B.S. were made because I didn't think he would take anything i say seriously ;D ;D , figured we knew each other better than that.
see what happens when i post a couple pics you guys....... I promise to never do it again ::)
-
Take it easy guys. BS is posting his comments with all the smileys. I think most of us who have put in the years in steelhead have our insights about the fishery, each is a good rod in his/her own way or style. Peace in the forum. Allwaysfishin, your posts are high quality stuffs. Nice pictures, and we enjoy them. So keep them coming.
-
ok..... tomorrow I'll hopefully be doing this at least once
