Lack of water forces me out of state (pic now included)

With the lack of water and floatable rivers in OR, I decided to meet my brother in Idaho for some silver hotgog chaseing. Idaho is experiencing the same conditions we are but I managed to land some fish. None of them however were very silver. The best of them was this 38" monster I caught on a 7 foot light weight rod. He was a great fight, that I gladly returned to the river. I will be back there next year, even if the fishing is great here.

Yes those are ice chunks in the river.

It sounds like you had a good time. It would be nice to see a picture of the big fish.

Nice carp Joey!

BTW, how'd you do on the Sandy Saturday? I saw a few at Jacks around 2pm. The water looks awesome light green!
Hope you nailed a few.
