So, I picked up the_intimidator03 this morning and we headed out. Quartzville was very, very low but we gave it a try. The first spot, which is normally a favorite spot was not successful and definitely was not the blue pool it normally is
(cell pic)


Our second place we stopped looked like this


which was hiding this


We fished it for a short time and then I cast my Elk Hair Caddis up along a rock like wall and had a hit...recast.....FISH ON!!



a nice 14 incher (Eric said so)

No more luck there so we headed down and fished a section of dead water, molested a duck, just kiddin, and then headed down with the intent on hitting the S. Santiam. I passed the road I wanted and so we ended up at Waterloo.....what an awesome place...there were no combat fishermen and we had the water to ourselves. I got 2 there and Eric had one on for a short time.

All in all it was a good day, good weather, a new fishin friend and MickyD's, Thanks Eric for coming along and for the eats and drinks. We will have to do it again.

whoa... bright little specimen. Nice fish!


Looks like a good sized trout.

 

[lilsalmon]

Thanks. There is an obvious glare on it but it was a very nice 'bow

Looks like a fun day! That 2nd spot sure looks pretty!

 

[lilsalmon]

Okay, it was a great day but now I have to add this in...I hate Corvallis. There is one lane going out of town to hwy 34. Cars are cuttin in going up left and right...seen the motorcycle cop sitting on the corner. Sat in the middle lane cuz thats what I do...follow the laws. Missed 2 lights cuz we weren't moving what with the a**holes going left and right lanes.....light turns yellow as I am going through and the car in front of me hesitates which puts me in the intersection, move forward...FUNK!!!! lights behind me....he gave me a warning for the Failure to obey a signal and cited me for the lesser obstructing traffic.....OBSTRUCT THIS!!!!!

I haven't had a ticket in over 20 years and he still wouldn't give me a break....oh well...it was a good day anyway....hehe

 

[RunWithSasquatch]

Thanks. There is an obvious glare on it but it was a very nice 'bow

Yeah, but they dont glare for no reason

 

[waco]
