10-21-12 Trip

Packed some friends and family for a fun/ fish float on Sunday. We put in at the lower Welsh landing and floated all the way to Akers. This section has some of the best scenery and often great fishing.

We were not disappointed on either this trip. We floated in about 3/4 mile to our favorite hole and gravel bar and set up shop. I caught several nice rainbows before I had to cook up lunch.

Fired up our 2 grills and put on some jalapeno poppers (weedless) and brats.

About the time the brats were done my wife noticed something down stream 100yds or so.

A whitetail buck ran into the river and swam upstream towards us. The wind was blowing upriver but there were 7 of us and our boats. He continued upriver until he was even with us and looked over and noticed all of us! He then swam down stream a few yrds and got out on our gravel bar shook and ran into the woods.

A great float saw maybe 10 others I caught 10 sycamore, 5 maple and 3 rainbows.

Pulled out at the ferry at 6ish and home in time to watch the game.

Mike, looks like a nice trip. Gotta love Indian Summer in October.

Thanks again for the shuttle a few weeks ago, Dad and I had a great trip.

Looks like a good time. The weedless jalapeno popper joke really got me. I'm still laughing! haha
