Went on an adventure and drifted the upper hoh today! Drifted Parkline to Morgans. Its a bit skinny and 2 sweepers had us getting out and carrying the boat, but we made it and went 6 for 10 on super chrome April wild steelhead! Landed a 19 lber and a 14 lber as the 2 biggest, no picture of the 19 it was super angry and we had to release it to avoid hurting him on the rocks
