We hit the water earlier than normal and was doing all right. Lost of rainbows, by noon the wife had quit counting as she had caught 50 fish all bows. I have been trowing lures and had done pretty good, we were back at the ramp about 12:30 and we decided the river dropping and it still early we would run back up river. Best think I have made in a while. We got back to the wire and I decided to drag power bait. We use a #4 or #6 eagle claw crappie hook as the hook has a bend in the shank and rotated when the fish bites it. The fishing was hot I mean hot every cast we caught fish. We never anchor, we drift with the current and it was like fishing at a fish farm.I tossed my jerk lure over a rock and had a 22 inch fat super fat male brown nail it. then as we drifted through the middle of shoestring I was catching one brown trout after another, then caught a huge cutthroat. I got him in the boat and was digging out the camera and lost him. Tally for the end of the day was 163 fish.
