Excellent day today! Spur of the moment decision once again to go out, river was rising but VERY slowly. Was able to find a great spot with no other anglers in sight. Hooked and tailed a nice wild fish right OFF the bat on a spinner. Not the best fight for a wild fish, he must have been a bit tired out. Quickly released with no photos, but that's fine with me, was just stoked to hook up! An hour or so later hooked another fish which spit the hook, was a little fish scale on my gami 
Fish hit the bead instead of a shrimp topped jig. Decided to drift fish and second cast hooked and landed a beautiful hen on a corkie and yarn. Got it all on the gopro, was an excellent fight and I was able to land her in high water without a net in a very small space. Nice tight eggs and beautiful meat, never know with those hens. She wasn't in the river very long at all.
2/3 in 3 hours trifecta style, one on the spinner, one on the bobber and one drift fishing. Good times

Couple nice hatchery fish from the Clack last Sunday.............
Mine, on top, 9#ish hen......
My neighbors, on bottom, slightly colored 8# buck......
Caught my hottest nate of my season the day before on Saturday. 12#+ chromer that came out of the water 4-5 times and made 2 reel screaming runs before I could tail it. Tried to get a picture but just as I handed my phone to a guy to take the pic the fish rolled up on my leader and snap, it was gone. One of those fish that makes ya keep coming back for more.........
It was a good weekend (especially since I could only fish the first 2 hours of daylight both days)...

You know they are! I actually swung by there yesterday on my way home and the trap wasn’t up yet. Did you see the big log under one of our favorite holes? Had the day OFF and tried for an early steelhead lower river on the bank. No luck but caught and released 5 silvers. Kinda felt bad since they are getting ready to spawn so I left after a couple of hours. All were hooked perfect, no bleeders and they did not leave the water. Was very careful with them.

Happy New Years OFF folks! Let's see those pics of winter steelhead!
Good start to my year. Will be hard to top but I'm sure it will happen. Was fishing alone in the sled and couldn't get it in my small shallow steelhead net without it flopping out so I ran to the bank and brought it to my feet.

Like hobster suggested, here is a good tailed-fish-still-in-moving-water photo example, I managed to find this stunner wild buck on the fly this weekend and super happy he is still on his way to make more babies!
