christmas eve afternoon trip

[gotmuddy]

I snuck out of the office at 11 and headed down to Riley's outfitters to do some jig slingin'  I took two of my sisters. Water was still ripping.  We started out just below the rock jetty above the dock(normally WAY out of the water).  After having some technical difficulties(teaching two teenagers how to cast/fish a jig) we got things dialed in.  We got in a cut behind the upper end of the island and the girls immediately hooked up with fish, then katie(in the foreground) hooked a second back to back.  Nothing after that in that spot so we moved up the buffalo to find some more gentle current.  We had to run over 2 miles to get to any current, then decided since it was so nice to run up another mile. I hooked up with a couple trout in a riffle just below a chute, then we went down towards the mouth.  While drifting katie caught a smallie on one of my sculpin jigs.  Down at the mouth I caught another trout and a sucker.  Not a bad way to spend an afternoon, and it was amazing being able to fish in shorts and flip flops on christmas eve.

I agree, to me any time spent on the water is a great trip.
