Well i have been back for a day now but i thought it was time for me to let whoever is interested know abbout how my last trip went.
After catching the first ferry and driving to the vedder.We were on the river by about 11:00 and went right to lickman,where we proceeded to catch nothing and see nothing get caught.After fishing there for about 2 hrs we went up to bottom end of bill's run and fished until dark only hooking 1 that we didnt even get a chance to see.
So next day we are up at 5 and make breakfast and all,then go down to lickman again....But this time it was sooooooo windy that when we went to take a look at the river on the dyke we almost got blown off.So after deciding it was much to windy we went up to Ranger run and we were the first ones there..,We fished for about 45 minutes withought any luck.But then it happend i cast to the far side and start my drift when all of a sudden my float just slams down.....and i think to my self oh yes finally a fish,But my wonderful steelhead just turns out to be a white fish with eyes bigger than his stomach.So finally more people show up and it gets crowded so we start thinking about leaving when once again i cast to the far side and WHAM my float goes down,so i tighten up to it and this thing just goes nuts right up to the head water than bringes about half of its body out of the water and powers down to the tailout.After fightin her for about 15 minutes i land her down in the tail out. Man what a nice fish!! After contemplating wether or not to keep her i finally lean towards the keeping part,so a quik BONK and she was mine.About 20 minutes later my buddy hooks a wild one while i was putting my gear into the car,so a quick release and we were off for the day.
Next morning same thing wake up at 5 blah blah blah.We decided to go to ranger again since it was so productive the previos day,went there and because i had killed a fish there yesterday everysingle guy from the lower reaches decided to come there too,we werent there long.After going to the hotel and getting our stuff out by checkout we went down to lickman again to try our luck.When we arrived the there was a guy playin a good fish down at the fast water,so we fished our way down to the tail out and once again nothing.After hook hunting my way up to the head waters i noticed 2 guys fishing right where i wanted to be in that fast water so i waited untill they moved up a bit and i moved in.I throw my line in and started walking down a few feet when i slipped on a rock when i got my balance back i looked for my float and it was nowhere to be seen ,before i could even come up to it my line started ripping across to the other side setting the hook for me.Once i played her out i brought her into the shallow water and landed her,Because the other 2 guys i was fishing with hadnt gotten anything i decided to keep the second one as well becasue then i could share more.
So we brought the 2 fish to freds custom tackle and got them weighed and my first one went 10.5 lbs dressed with 2lbs of roe! and my second went 10lbs undressed.All in all every one is happy and it was a great trip.
DAMN them things are tasty
ooooooooooooo
