Fish from the Ronde...my second largest fish on this river
« on: March 04, 2012, 09:37:47 PM »
I hit the ronde thursday afternoon and fished till this am...fishing was pretty good, but a lotta people down this weekend. Lots of old friends and family down too. We didnt get much fishing done friday and saturday  :chuckle:  This am I hooked into what I thought I had foul hooked a fish....couldnt move it. then 30 yards of line burning off. This went on for over 15 min by far the strongest fish I had the pleasure of ever hooking on that river. This fish is a close second to the largest I have landed in 24 years of fishing the river

Nice fish there!
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Wow, very nice...   I am considering coming over to fish and pick up my son at WSU.  It makes a great excuse to go fishing. 

I agree with Nubbs you have that river dialed in.
