Quick Trip To the West Branch
« on: Sep 09, 2021, 10:07 AM »
Finally fished for the first time in what feels like months.  Between work and water in my basement from these storms I haven't had much free time.  I figured with the storms coming in last night along with some warmer weather that fish would be chewing.  I got a bite on my first drift but the rust was present and I missed the hookset.  I got the fish on the third cast and turned out to be a 14" rainbow.  I got a smaller one downstream and then truck hopped down further.  This spot I haven't fished in a while but seemed loaded with fish.  I caught 4 more bows in the 13-15" range.  Stupidly hadn't retied and broke of a much larger brown.  Always the one that gets away that keeps ya coming back.

This is the West Branch of the Westfield, I presume?

Sounds like a pretty good trip.

True, that. 

Good report, thanks for sharing.  I need to get out that way sometime.
