Guys, fish and Cheetohs

[lilsalmon]

Saturday bigsteel and I met up with Tribal16 and hit various spots on the Santiam. I got the first fish at the first stop....a nice little hatchery trout



We all got into trout and it was quite a fun day. Met another very nice OFF member and I am sure we will be fishin some more.....

The last place we stopped I headed to the pools by the rocks...I know it is a guaranteed catch, even though small. As my fly floated past me about a foot from my rock a fish hit my fly and I knew it was not a little one...it took off and my rod was bent.....it came out of the water numerous times....he was peepeed....the rest of the story is really humerous but I won't bore you.....he spit the hook at my feet....in a little pool. He bent the hook on my fly all the way around into the foam......Its in my fly box...I have proof...I am terrible at inches but he was about this big...actually it was about 13-14 inches....nice in my book. I'm done.
The guys will have to tell you how they did....

I had a blast fishing with lilsalmon and bigsteel. I learned a lot that day and was able to improve my casting distance (Thanks bigsteel!). I landed 3 smaller trout throughout the day on my 3wt. It was nice to get out on the water. Besides the trash, the river was beautiful and i had a great time! Those Cheetos sure make a mess . I attempted to swing my own tied flies for the first time but didn't catch anything.

The first place we stopped bigsteel had me cast in a spot and bam! A nice size fish grabs my dry, i have him hooked for a couple seconds before he spit the hook back at me .

Hope to fish with you two again real soon!

So, do Cheetos fish better as a dry or wet fly?

Another nice report Rose. Glad you "guys" all had fun!
