OMG is all I can say about today. I was fishing on the north fork of the Nooksack just above the route 9 train trestle and bridge. There was soooooooooooo much action today !!! Let me say this again, SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH ACTION TODAY!!!!!!! Started out using dick nite's wee in 50/50 and hooked (2) 10+ plus chum.. 20 minutes later not a single bite on it in the same holes... Started to fish an aero jig in pink/white color under a bobber... less then 10 seconds in the water the bobber went under. Big and fat chum hen over 10lbs, landed and released... Next few casts bobber down each and every time. Ended up with over 30 quality chums still sporting chrome!
Lost the jig and switched to a nightmare jig and bobber down, fish tail slapping the water, jumping clean outta the water at times, landed a clipped hen about 7 or 8 lbs., released but no pic....... 1ST STEELHEAD OF THE SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lost 4 jigs to breaking off on fish ( using 12 lb. line here) but did find two newer beau-mac 3/4 oz. bobbers floating down the river, a brads wiggler that was on a exposed tree root, and a few hooks and sinkers... River levels drop and vavaa voom people's rigs are exposed!
What really made the day..........
After I landed a few of the chums a older guy in a off colored Tahoe or bronco decided to walk down on the other side of the river and start fishing the hole I was working .... He never did catch anything while I was there, so I made sure to throw upriver of him and let my gear float down to his and catch fish on just about every cast in the same hole.... Karma's a B@! I was nice enough to tell him the color of jig and even offered him one as I was leaving for the day, but he was stubborn and kept fishing the same spots with no luck
I need to buy me some waders!!!!
