Tomorrow (02/03, Wednesday) Open Seat. Kalama River.

[Breck]

I have one open seat tomorrow in my 16' Clackacraft. I'll be drifting from Prichard's to Modrow and will be pulling plugs, bobber & jig/pink worm, and swinging flies.

Here's the catch: I lost my wedding ring in the river about 3 weeks ago. The river has cleared considerably since then and I am going to stop and look with the help of fellow ifisher, gordy and his metal detector (I know where the area is where the ring landed in the drink). The area that we will be searching is just above a nice hole, so you can fish while we search for the ring....or you can help.

Meeting at Modrow Bridge at 7am. PM me if you'd like to come along. I'll be away from the house & 'puter after 3:15pm today, so sorry, there's not much of a window to get hold of me.

Too bad I had to work today... let us know how the fishing was though.
good luck with your ring man.

I was up in the canyon a couple weeks ago, and had 4 chromers on the bank, but the week before last we didnt catch or see anyone catching fish

Well as far as finding the ring goes...we failed.
Maybe the water pushed it downriver a bit or under a rock...maybe I just suck at finding stuff. We gave it a try for a half hour in thigh deep water.
Sorry Breck.
As to the fishing though Yes we had a great day.
You know it is gonna be a good day when you are netting a fish fifty feet from the boat launch. Running a pirate wiggle wart Breck put my lure right in the mouth of a nice little 7 lb brat. That fish wanted that lure. It had every point of each hook imbedded in its mouth.
We stopped to float some jigs and Breck anchored me right on top of a truckfull of Native Chromers. I pulled one from the slot that was like staring into the sun it was so brite. A quick net and hook release and off it went...Moments later Breck set the steel into another chromer that spent more time in the air that under the surface. The judges gave it straight 9.9's for its accrobatic display. Breck, being a gentle soul allowed the fish to swim away unharmed from a distance of twenty yards to ruturn to the gene pool.
We each had some take-downs that we just plain missed.
If you ever get a chance to spend some time with Breck don't pass it up. Great boat-mate. Easy to chat with, knows his stuff and can thread a boat through the rocks like he was born with oars in his hands.
