Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted April 15 Root Admin Posted April 15 Saw a huge brown bottom/backside of Lookout Island last night. Swiped at either my jig or the rainbow that was going for it. 20 pounds plus. This morning, I hooked one I never saw but the head shake was unreal. A faulty fly reel caused the break... mad I was upset! Was using 4x and had all the time in the world to fight it. Still running 15,500 cfs with TR's level dropping well below 917. I'd think they should shut it down soon. BUT there's 3-5 inches of rain in the 7 day forecast. Greasy B, dpitt, Quillback and 2 others 5

Ryan Miloshewski Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Burn the reel and bury it somewhere dark, deep and far away from civilization.

Seth Posted April 16 Posted April 16 I've definitely chucked reels for less! Would have been nice to at least get some eyes that monster!
Foghorn Posted April 16 Posted April 16 That drag was making some bad sounds. Not sure if it was slipping or metal on metal.
