A friend and I decided to take advantage of a free day and do a little fishing close in.  We headed to the Sandy, in the Oxbow area.  The water was high but an excellent green with visiblity of about 3 feet.  It rained heavy the whole time.  We fished a couple of good long runs.  I hooked and lost a very nice, chrome steelie.  We saw a fly guy hook and lose a fish on the other side of the river from the run we were fishing.  We also talked to some plunkers at the boat launch and heard that a couple had been caught there earlier in the day.  It was nice to finally feel the tug of a steelie and even get to see it do a good power roll on the surface before ejecting my gear.  Sal
