LL Bean 8wt - 89.99 for my mudshark setup.  Lifetime warranty, so there's no pressure putting the pressure to a big fish....snap...oh well...go pick up a new one.

sorry budd they are just tryin to fill the lot.  Dsr . Was slow all morning.  few hook UPS . The guides allways spice it up a bit . That's just how they are . I didn't see 25 fish swim by all day..

The guides are fishing almost to the estuary. Below the meadow. So 2 miles makes a big diffrence

Fished down low today with Ht. There was some fish but just holding in the tail. Not much moving down low this morning. We left at 11. I hooked 2 fish worth even saying I did rest were just rolled. I saw the same fish caught 3 times in 20 mins.

I'm headed up tomorrow afternoon to fish the evening and all day tues with my girlfriend.  My goal is to get here on a few fish.  I have only fished the river a couple times.  I'm hoping for a good trip.  It seems like we are timing it about right.

Fishing report for Sunday September 25th:

         It was tough all over Adam...those coho's from yesterday in Altmar moved up into the lower fly zone and left quite a void in my area...just above the bridge is absolutely jacked with fish...it's sick!!!!   Fish cleaning was slow, so I strung my rod and ran floats and beads from the bridge to the second wires..actually after 1pm everybody left, I only ran into a dozen guys fishing schoolhouse...everything else was just me...but got a big skunk though , no biggie...I tried...cleaned some really nice fish from the Ellis/bovines area and above pineville...Lam bastem em said the town pool was silly with kings..nothing moving, but alot of hook ups...Dave also said the ports full, but not over full... I had guys that did well in a few places, but you had to walk for them and work hard..great weather though, shorts and sneakers for me...................
