Left work @ 10:30 this morning and headed south. Arrived in the Coos Bay area around 1:00pm. Headed to the East Fork Millicoma. Lost two fish drifting sand shrimp in the first hole I tried. My buddy went just below me and caught a pretty little hen on a drifted 4" pink worm. The guys just above me hooked three and landed one on shrimp and roe.
Moved up stream @ about 4:00 drifted easy eggs, shrimp and jig fished with no takes. Tied on a chartreuse/silver #3 blue fox for my buddy, nothing. Tied on a #4 Blue/silver and he hooked up and broke "off" a big fish second cast. Tied on a pink/silver #4 and he lost a chromer. I tied a pink rainbow/silver #4 on and walked up above where the other fish had been and casted to the far side of the slot fish on. Finally got to ink my tag. 32" buck nice and chrome and fat.
Fish were caught on everything I saw being used today with the exception of jigs. However I'm sure that jigs would of produced too as there were plenty around.
I'll put up a pic as soon as it gets E-mailed to me. Wish I didn't have to work tomorrow, I'd go hit the South Fork Coos.
