If my name doesn't sound familiar, it's because this is my first post ever! Although, I've been religiously reading FWR fishing reports for the last year or so... I figured it's probably my turn to share with the community.
I had the good fortune of being able to skip out on work yesterday (by choice
) and head out to the vedder. I started out at allison pools and chucked roe for about half an hour with no takers. Finally, i casted into the head of one of the pools and my float shot down. I set the hook and was into a small jack spring (at least I think that's what it was...). However, I forgot to tighten up my drag as I store it loose and i ended up loosing the fish after about 5 seconds!! I know...what a bonehead move.
I decided to head up to prison run and try my luck there. After about two hours, I managed to hook onto a large doe. This fish went berserk!! it spent more time out of the water than in! after a long fight I ended up losing it in a side channel as it got tangled in some logs as broke off. Satisfied, I decided to call it a day there. Even though I wasn't able to land a fish, it was great to get out. I struck out during steelhead season (I think 0-11 lol) so this has been my first fishy action since Coho season last november. I saw one other fish caught in allison in the morning and had a black bear sighting as well. Good luck to everyone who's heading out this weekend. Bring lots water, it was a scorcher yesterday.
