Another suprise summer!

Well the plan today was North Fork Res. for swimming, but the cops had the road blocked off just past Faraday cause some guy had a gun up there. So I headed to my new favorite spot on the Clack for some fishing and swimming. Thank goodness I still had my gear in my car from yesterday! Sometimes it pays off to be too lazy to take your gear out of your car:lol:

So I get down there and two guys are down there keepin dark nooks and I walk up and on my third cast with my fly rod hook what I think is a nook, and fight it downriver a ways and discover that it is a lot brighter than I originally thought. And unlike yesterday, when I lost 4 steelies, I landed it and was stoaked. Nice little 7-8 pounder. So suprised.

Also landed a 10 pound nook, and lost a 25+ pounder:shock: It had me in my backing and wasn't stoppin, I tried to put the brakes on and it came unbuttoned
All in all a fun day, crazy how it turned out!

NICE! Can I ask what you got em on fly wise? I've fished that stretch of water a couple times in the last week or so. See fish but can seem to buy a bight.

I have had hookups on orange beads, but mostly olive colored nymphs. Yesterday I could see the fish, but not today. I believe it's less what your using and more about getting the right drift in front of them
