Hello Everyone
I spent a great weekend with the Family on the Clearwater River the one on the Coast :-) on Saturday it was just the son and I he caught one nice fish 11 pounds Oh we fished from the bank throwing Spinners and we fished the blue bridge on the main line on Saturday the river was up a little and lots of leaves I was happy to see the boy catch one he has been trying to catch one for a month he has worked hard
on Sunday it was the wife and boy and i we went down to the bar just south of the Clearwater town close to the Queets Bridge fished there for about 1 1/2 hours nothing seen one guy hook and lose one fish seen lots of fish moving up river just could not get them to bite so we moved back up to the Bridge and we caught two it was a great day and a great weekend spent with the Family




Oh and here is what I did with them

Nice fish! I went fishing there Saturday and Sunday and ended up with nothing. On Saturday there was a few jumping but the river raised about 4 inches in 4 hours and the leaves got so bad that it made fishing kinda pointless so I went home. I went back yesterday and hooked a monster fresh king down by Hurst Creek and it kicked my ass! I had it on for maybe 10 minutes and I could never gain an inch with it the whole time. It kept going down stream until almost all my line was gone so I handed my pole to my cousin and he skirted the bank down stream for like 70 yards and the fish got around a rock pinnicle that is in the river and sheered off my 50 Lb brade. It jumped a few times fairly close to my cousin and he figured it might have been close to 40 Lbs! Of course thats all here say without a fish prove it!  That fish had some muscle so I wouldnt doubt it.
