Hit Oxbow this morning but the Sandy was super off color and I only fished it for a couple hours, although I did miss one on bobber and roe. Headed over to Eagle Fern to see if there were any fish, and I think it's so low I don't think a trout could live in it lol, kinda bad cuz there's usually some coho around there by now.
Then I went down to Bonnie Lure. Didn't fish the mouth of the creek but I fished it at the first log jam you encounter if you're walking from the parking lot. A bunch of fish in there and you could see the salmon in there, I spotted about 8 and there were definitely many more. Definitely not stacked but it's pretty much impossible for them to make it past the log jam until we get more rain, after this weekend should be a ton of fish in there.
Not many people besides a complete jerk (snagger of course) who was "fishing" a great hole by casting his huge weight and tiny piece of yarn across the river and proceeded to set the hook every other second. I don't know the specifics of flossing but every couple of casts he would cast it across the creek then reel it in super fast, he did that a few times in a row..anyone know what that does? Also he watched me as I was walking on the bank on the opposite side of the creek, I must have stepped on a wasp nest or something, and I got a few stings on my leg. Then he yells "oh yeah, looks like you found the wasp nest!" what a jerk. Couldn't he have told me or something? Lol, whatever. Then I snag and he said "oh ya theres a huge stump there, looks like you just found it". I was pretty mad, also what got me really mad is that his attempt at snagging fish completely spooked all the fish in that hole so pretty much the only way you could catch them was snagging.
I resorted to fishing above him, bunch of fish and I did miss one but it was getting later in the afternoon and it was getting to be time to leave. I talked to a guy at the end who said there were no fish in the whole creek, I told him I had seen a few and I showed him, he hooked one after about 50 casts but lost it almost right way.
Anyway, there are fish in EC right now and the rain tomorrow should really stack them up in the lower creek, or at least increase the amount of fish by a lot. I was surprised to see fall nooks in there..at least that's what I thought they were, they were big and had black mouths.
