had some time to hit a river today with the wife being out of town so met up with high school buddy, Craig and we hit the south fork of the Toutle. Fished from the end of the road down with Craig just catching one about 14 inches which came off just as he brought it in so no harm done. Beautiful stretch of river with water conditions clear but running pretty fast but was able to get some pretty good drifts but no takers. Saw about 10 other fishmena and same story- no fish. Oh well, it was nice to get out and try out the gear and my new shrimp cured in Nate's bait cure bought at the Sportsman show and spend the day with my old buddy on a beautiful river!
keep at 'em!!
