4/24/13 Guide Trip

[Brian Sloss]

I got out with Marvin and Phil, a couple of nice clients I haved fished in the past a couple of times. We fished a couple of days after a conservation Dept fish survey and stayed a couple of shoals ahead of them while they were doing round two on Wed. Fishing the blue ribbon area can be hit or miss in the spring, but we have been catching fish pretty regularly this spring, particularly on golden stones and of course, fishing them deep. The morning was, to say the least, tough fishing, which I think had a lot to do with being in the fish sampling region from a couple of days before. After we got out of that stretch, the rest of the blue ribbon area fished pretty well and golden stones were the key. We also did pretty well in a couple of shoals fishing an olive rubber legged wooly on a sink tip. They caught a number of 6 inch wild fish and a couple of 16 inch fatties, but the highlight was a very fat 22 inch bow. Of course there were some 11-13 inchers in there too. You can't go out expecting ridiculous numbers right now, but there are some very nice fish out there to be caught. We have been getting a steady rain most of the day today (Fri) which should help our levels on the upper river. I would like to see a strong rise in levels, just not too much.

Brian,

One of these days I need to save up some money and go on a trip... Just to many to toys to buy if you know what I mean.

[Brian Sloss]

I do indeed. I'll be around whenever you want to go.
