First keeper of the year !

[Boedy]

Finally after a week and a half I landed a nice 18# keeper hen tonight on the south santiam. Was bank fishing as I have no drift boat:( at Lebanon dam drift fishing with eggs and chartreuse corky. Saw 6 fish landed tonight all keepers. One went 25 pounds, second 25 pounder I have seen in two days FYI . Really starting to see a lot of fish coming up should be a good weekend. Going out tomorrow morning so got to get to bed. :sleep:

Way to go Boedy. :grin: Hey, your moniker starts with BOEdy. That could be a jinx :shocked: Nah, you're lucky your moniker ends with "dy". Now you and BOE are tied up. Who will strike next? :wink:

way to go boedy, quick question, i thought you could keep non fin clipped fish on the santiam. did they change that this year or last year?

Thanks, in advance.
