Floatilla III - The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly Part 1

[parker]

Team Vision forgot to check the boards all week and showed up for Flotilla III. Seeing that no one was around, the Team waited a couple hours before hitting the water. Finally, on the water by 10:30, the float began. Here’s a recap of the float.

The Good:

Well, I hate to be the one to say it, but most of you missed out on a great day on the river! The river was in great shape, as long as you found some traveling fish and presented them with something that they wanted. To say we found a few fish is an understatement, although it did take us a while to find those mint-chrome bright hatchery fish we needed to fill our limits. Many pesky dogs kept interfering with our presented tackle. Although fun to catch, not exactly what we were after.

Joe started us off with this nice chromer silver.

It didn’t take long for BK to add a few to the fish box!

Likewise, I got in on the action as well. This, by the way, was the largest sliver caught by Team Vision on this day images/icons/wink.gif

BK and Parker double up on some kings!

In all, we hooked over 30 fish.

Well, those pictures make me feel good about the decision...though I knew it was full of fish there was just no way it could have handled all the extra boats...not easily anyway.

Hey Os....I thought you knew some secret spots??? You've either been talkin to much or somethin...lol...Gawd...I remember that river when hardly anybody new it had a run of salmon...I remember the Seattle Times article well....I cringed.


Oh well...there are others!

Nice job guys, nice to see bright feesh. Hey is that second pic a native fish or is that an illusion, looks like it has an adipose fin images/icons/shocked.gif

That Thor built boat looks an awful like a fishrite, is there a connection?

[Osprey]

Hey Jim,not too many secret spots left,
but after leaving that hole we found a lot of fish ......all by our selves images/icons/rolleyes.gif....Os

FM2 - yup, it sure was. So was the King. Notice the intact adipose fin.
