Twas a glorious past few days of fishing. Taking a quick break from the Steel and Salmon to chase some bruiser Redsides on the Mack...What a blast! Reminded me of the action you'd get on the D. My good buddy was coming down from OC to get the boat on the water for an evening float on Sunday and a mid morning float the next day. We've never floated this river before so didn't know what to expect. We were mainly targeting the big redsides on the nymph, but ran into a few good hatches including a March brown one that popped decent for us sunday yielding a few chunky reds. We easily caught over 150 fish the past few days including cutties, cutbows, planters, and maybe a dozen reds. The biggest was probably close to 19-20 inches. A 16-17 took the cake on the best fight though. I'm using a 5 wt and have hooked some pig trout clearing 20inches, but this guy surprised me and took me down river 200 yards making run after run. Epic battle. Our best nymph duo was easily the Mega Prince with a sz 14 prince for the trailer. Here's a few pics I was able to snap... Can't wait for this weather to turn nice.
Oh yeah, did I mention there was only one other boat in sight in two days? No one out there...Can't beat that!
Tight Lines all,
