First Chrome of the Year (pics added)

[Airborne]

Got a late start today left at noon 1 1/2 hr drive to the hole for 2hrs of fishing, so I drove longer than I fished, hate it when that happens. But was rewarded for the effort got 1 nice keeper and 2 nates released and lost one but never got it close enough to see what it was, the bonus was I had the whole river to myself... not to sound like it was a hot day on the river, as it started out I laced up a new pair of wading boots only to have an eyelet bust off, then on the way to the hole I slipped and fell I thought about using the rod to brace my self but tossed it into the snow. I would post the pic but I cant figure out how to resize it. "There's no high like chrome on the Fly" PM me for details... used a egg sucking leach purple w/bright pink egg 24"-30" below strike indicator http://www.ifish.net/uploads/31520920.jpg

I have been out to the wilson twice in the last two weeks - clear water days but no fish to the line - saw only one steelhead and a handful of aged salmon - the string continues - have fun

Worked the Kilchis pretty hard with Kodiakfisher Sunday. I'd say we were there at odarkthirty but we had to wait a half hour for that. :hoboy:
Hit some very fishy looking water, except that it was gin clear. No action but great getting out with KF and that nice fishing dress he was sporting. :grin:

Airborne, way to go. Glad to see that someone is hooking winters on flies this month.

Good Show, Pip Pip, etc. I guess you gotta get out to the river if you're gonna catch fish. Need to deal with that.

Congrats!
