Great job.

Hey you should take it easy with you wrist. 50 smallies is just way too many to be lifting. Maybe you should give the fishing a break for a while. Don't worry about the fish. I will go out and keep an eye on them for you.

Nice Joe. I wish I could report the same thing about the lower willy. We hit it on Wednesday, and caught about 5-6 fish for about 6 hours of fishing. Very slow for us, and we hit all of the good spots. Water is running a little colder than the upper Willy. Were you above or below the falls. You said middle willy, but never know.

Based on the pics my guess would be Newberg.

Great job Joe. Glad to see they finally woke up on the willy. You don't get too many of those type of days anymore. It's good to know they are out there in those kind of numbers.

Weather is not going to hold. Looks like a very cold evening tonight and only about 55 for a high tomorrow with cloud cover all day. It will probably frost again tonight just like it did last night. Regardless of the weather though, I'll be out on the water tomorrow!

Thanks again Joe, very encouraging report.

You da man!
