          Went all day in spots we fished... We fished 7-10 am again 11-1`pm, 3-5 pm and 6-730pm. took many breaks , great weather fished at a easy going laid back pace...  I was 6 for 10 ...... I took a 3 hour nap mid day after a big walk... Dave was 7 for 11 and between the other three guys with us, they had to get 18 hook ups... heres some pic's from one of 4 spots we fished....

              Yesterday the fish at the sportsman's were almost all droppies, from Pineville and the Trestle upstream they were all tight... and there was chrome and droppies in town...so it's all over the board right now... looks like a couple storms starting late Monday and another one later this week, so we'll see how the water shakes out.  Hey Jason I get alot of salmon with those crooked or broken backs in the filet station, not sure but I think they get broken backs early in life ...maybe from trollers. Probably end up seeing you today Frank...good luck.. ;D

Jr. and I fished from 8:00-1:00, 0-3 for the two of us!! Fish were really picky today! Lot's of fisherman and boats.  Good to see SNAGGER and Lambaste'em today!!   We hope to see you during the week for an evening run Shane!! Titelines!--KP 8)

Hit the river for a couple hours, 2 for 7, Small simple flies hand tied by a friend, 1 color in particular worked well, same fly different color NADA.  Same guy that tied the flies went 7 for 22 yest.  Today seemed like they were a bit more line shy, but I guess after getting pounded what do you expect.  Particular spot in the run or hole also seemed to make a HUGE difference.  If you started you drift or float of by a few feet nada, same hole move up a bit, & wham.
I was berated for fishing & asked recently by a PETA type.  You don't keep fish do you?  I responded "No I don't like aquariums. I just treat them like a quick haircut, & take a little of the sides"
