previous report 10/21(sunday)

[Center Punch]

went to benett with a buddy sunday. started in zone 2 where the chute

dumps out in the main river. we just wanted to get a feel on some stockers.

as always it was a crowded hole with everyone wading out too deep so

we hooked a few behind these waders and decided to go for some bigger trout

went up to the ledge and went out on it. caught several rainbows in the

12-16" range on various patterns fishing about 2 ft deep. noticed rainbows

jumping the ledge.(have never seen that before) my buddy claimed he had about

a 4-5 lb brown on but it spit because he had a late hook set. we both

decided to take a quick break. after thawing out, we went upstream toward

the spring. caught several more rainbows in the 12-16" range. did happen

to see a bruiser brown cruising upsteam(he was about 150 yards down from

the spring when i saw him) wouldnt stay still long enough to get a good

drift. i did see him chasing a stocker bow around. we worked our way back down stream catching a few here and there. id say the biggest fish i landed

was about a 17 inch rainbow. not the best trip i have been on but i dont

think anybody did that well down there. i probably ended up with about 40

fish landed and twice that many missed hook sets and my buddy had a few less

i landed 2 small browns and i think he landed 1. decent fishing trip but

that wind had a bite to it as it didnt seem to get above 45-50 degrees
