Title: Couple good days last week
Post by: 7mmfan on February 01, 2015, 09:37:02 AM: Scraped out a long weekend last week on the Wynoochee and a new secret river we'll leave unnamed :) . Did well on Thursday fishing with my uncle and a buddy. My uncle had never landed a fish float fishing, took him about 5 minutes to nail his first, and shortly there after, his second. Ended up hooking 8 that day, and landed this great 37" buck, and a handful of other smaller fish.

Friday in the monsoon, we managed an equally good day with a lower landing percentage :'( inlcuding the loss of one of the biggest, hottest hens I've hooked in a LONG time. Its tough when you're in the back of the boat and the fish streaks around the bow and mach 2 and your 6' tall front seater can't get out of the way of your rod slapping him in the face! Saturday was a waste, couple good bowls of chili though to help make it bearable.

Sunday we traveled a ways and floated a new stretch of water and it was amazeballs. Not super productive, but we hooked a handful and saw some new beautiful water. Some of you will recognize the view, if you do, keep your trap shut, this place needs to stay tough to find :)

Most fish were hooked on yarnies and jigs, one on bait, a couple on beads. Good rounded out weekend with buddies.
