Doo Doo Brown

October 22nd, 2007

the water was that is.

It was chocolate milk.   I did manage to go 1 for 2 but both were boots.  Yet there were a couple chromers on the bank.

 

The river was almost not crossable – saw two kids fill their waders and turn back around.  I quickly realized that I owned every spot on the far side of the river and that paid off for me.

I worked as much water as I possibly could and found my best success straight across and down from the creak itself.  I think that the incoming creak water helped with visibility.

Hellcat those pictures sure tell the story of what it looked like down river.  It is too bad they were planning on holding off till the end of the month to break down the damn.  I guess you have to do what you have to do it just would have been nice if they had actually told someone ahead of time.  I guess there were a lot of guys that got stuck on the other side of the river when it all of a sudden came up – and turned doo doo brown.

It was good to get out and feel the tug on my line.

Kalama Report

October 22nd, 2007

JT, Lobey, Big Jim and I hit the Kalama on Sunday from Italian creek, down.


The water was high and brown, but did have about 20inches of viz.


We fished close to the bank, as we found some native Coho pushing up the very inside of the river at one point, and figured anything close to the bank that was big and bright might stir something up.


To no avail, but at least we got out there and B Dog got to use his new X 90 HC Certified Pro. He’s ready for Kings with that thing.
