Fished the North below Rock creek today. Hooked three and landed this 27" fish on a blue Blue Fox spinner. Also saw two guys on the trail with four fish before 8 AM. Beautiful day, sunny and 80, with fish biting.

Looks like a #4 blue body nickle blade.

BFF>>> If you like those...can't even say the name, you should try raptors.

That is a very nice haul you guys. A couple of OFF stickers on your tackle boxes and you could have shared a stretch of water or even a brewski...er,cup of coffee. Way to go and congrats to all!
Be safe.

Nice fish!

I'd have to say, for summers, blue body is my go to color! That or purple!

Bluefox fan....of course I was just kidding when I said it was all over when we met you heading down the trail! :lol: That's my sarcastic nature! Personality defect....can't help it! Looks like you did good! Congrat's!
My In-laws are in town for the weekend so we took the father-in-law out at first light this morning to look at some Whitetail bucks. We threw the rods in the truck, just in case! My oldest hooked up with 3 and landed 2 and we didn't start until later than what I would consider prime summer run fishing hours. I never touched a fish! The kid is good!!! One of the best I have ever seen! I would like to take credit for teaching him what he knows but he is beyond me!

Nice to meet you Mad dog. I do remember talking to you on the trail. Nice catch for both of you. I like to cast the Blue Fox #4's in blue,black and lime green. I spent some time throwing jigs to no avail. Must be nice to be so close to that great North Umpqua. That was a real pretty hen with that ugly bug. Looks like grandfather wishes he was holding a fish too!

Back to the North Umpqua today. Hooked two and landed a 28" steelie. Using #4 Blue Fox spinner, first fish hit a firetiger and raced across river, did a cartwheel and threw my hook. Next fish took a #3 black at the tail out of a rapid. After a nice scrap I was able to bank this chrome bright fish. It was so hot "103", that I cut this short and hit Rock creek for a swim.
