It's Finally Time! TR placeholder for the week

He was definitely a football.  Don't have length or weight, wanted to get him back in the water.  

I've measured allot of 4lb fish and he was way heavier than any of those.  I'd guess at least 5lbs... Have some better pics but are all on the go pro.  May be able to get length of of there with my app.

Headed back out after dinner, headed back to rebar now that the water was off.  Switched to a pink San Juan worm and first fish was a beast.  Not as big as the one earlier, but we did do some quick measurements.  He was a tad over 4lbs and 19 inches long, but 5 inches tall.

Caught 6 total up there, so it was still pretty slow, but they were all quality fish.

Fun stuff...

Man, I am so jealous brother!  Those are some great fish.  Wish I was there with you!  Tight lines my friend.

DJ let me fish with them today and allowed me to catch this pretty rainbow.  Just shy of 20 inches.  Narrows.  #18 red soft hackle fished with a #18 P&P Zebra Midge under a float.

Pretty colors on those fish.

Man, Phil put on a clinic landing that bow.  Some guy who couldn't snag a fish did have some pretty nice net skills though.

Beautiful day to be on the water. Thanks again Phil for the lessons!

No fishing last night, sleep won the battle after some hard day's of fishing.  We are off on a different adventure today.  Herding cattle at silver dollar city lol.  Going out tonight though for an all night trip as long as they aren't running water.

Went out last night for a few hours,  numbers were better, size was a bit smaller.  Fished at rebar again and down below outlet 2 for bit.  Fished a red midge and a pink San Juan again about 4 ft below an indicator.

My time is up... I am back home... Already missing it.  Last night was again more smaller fish, and 2 that were pretty decent. Sorry for all the net pics, night time, cold, and hands were full

Fished rebar again as I'm familiar with that area at night and I was flying solo again. Checked out the outlets one last time to look for sea monsters, but didn't see anything too crazy. 

Thanks again Phil for the great reports leading up to this trip, and for Friday!

I truly love this place and we are blessed with an amazing fishery for sure.
