Default Steelies: Didn\'t get skunked (pics)

Well, the catching wasn't as hot as I thought it would be, but the fishing was still nice! Visibility was at least 10' (and I forgot my polarized glasses at home ) Saw lots of fish, and a few REALLY big fish, but only brought one to the bank. Oh well... :grin:

Total: Hooked 3, Landed 1



There were a TON of smolt in the river, here is a shot from one of the bridges, How many can you count? :

And here is my custom "low water" stealth float:

A modified wine bottle cork!

Twitch - The close up with the jig and worm is a fantastic picture! That right there made your day. AWESOME!

OuhtforTrout, YES the pink worms work! Even in the low, super clear waters, I only hooke done fish in the last two trips that wasn't on the 'big gaudy pink worm'. They're usually not subtle takes either... hold on!

Willow, got your "confidential" package today. THANKS, those things look great. I'll be testing them in the next couple days... stay tuned! Do you pour your own?
