OK, now that I have more time...funny story about the first fish.
When I was walking up to the river, I spotted a guy swinging a fly through a riffle. This riffle empties into a nice slot, with a good seam for a float/jig; I wanted to fish that. But, as I got nearer, the fly guy was further down the riffle, and swinging through the area I wanted to start fishing. Thinking he was going to fish further down, through the whole thing, I figured I should ask his intentions because I didn't want to fish below him if he was planning to keep working down.
I crept up near him, crouched down and asked if he was going to keep working downward because I didn't want to low-hole him. He told me that he had gotten a take further up and was thinking about going back to the top and try again. I said I had gotten a native out of the spot he was currently fishing, and that I'd seen some hatchery taken all through the general area both up/down a good ways from where we now sat in the last few times out. He reiterated that I could fish this spot and he was going back up. OK.
Within 10 minutes, I have a fish on and he's upriver eyeballing me while I fight the fish...I'm sure he had a bit of misgiving about consenting at that point, LOL
Told that to another guy that happened along after I lost fish #2 and he got a good laugh out of that story
No worries though...lots of fish right now, he'll get one.
