The Spawn Is On

[Kyle Kosovich]

Hey everyone,

Thought the NF space needed something new and I happened to fish an hour or so today.

Mohair landed a nice brownie and a few small bows, but that is not the coolest part.

I was walking down stream and could see the bright new gravel patches at the head of a riffle. I though, "O' browns maybe have a few redds here" As I approached, I saw a few fish hovering around at first. Then, like one of those Magic Eye books all the trout began to pop out in like HD-3D. there were about 5 redds and 20 or more medium sized bows paired up surfing back and forth between. The biggest being about 18'' or so, with bright crimson red from its gill plate to its tail fin. It was a great sight to see. The future stock of the river were being laid out before my eyes. I admired the unique sight before me and then waded on down to take out for the day. That was the "biggest" gift of the day and one of the many things I'm thankfull for this year.

Have a great one.

That's nice to see - AND some water that is not up to the banks and swift!

Its always a good sight to see the fish reproducing. Thanks for sharing pictures!
