and then Joe, Steve, and I fished the creek.
The pics below show some of the fish we caught. The Black Hole is full of fish, and none of these were stocked this year. All summer holdovers. We went the whole way down, picking off fish in every stop we made. The Honey Hole is where we finished up, and Joe got this holdover tiger there.
Great stocking day, fishing day, and potato soup day, thanks to Joe B’s mom!
but plenty of water and plenty of trout at the club.
Started out with 11 at the corner pocket. Added another 15-16 more before the day was done.
The story of the day…..hit the lower quad and hooked the palomino. Had trouble getting line through the guides and lost him. But, on the next cast I picked this beauty up. He got me stuck under the dam, so I had to roll up the sleeves and pull the line out by hand to dislodge the fish. After he swam out I got this pick. Caught 2 others at/near 20 and ended the day with a 24 incher at the pavilion hole. Picked up the brown right before the 24 incher.
Banner day! My best ever at the club in the month of October.
water perfect at 16, not a lot of fish. Hooked 4 on Monday.
Tues, I hit NY and picked up 1. Again, not a lot of fish there either.
hooked at least 15 steelhead and never landed one.
Day 2, hooked more, but did bring some of these to the net/shore. The pic shows my first one that I beached.
The creek was full of fish and full of fisherman….a nicer group of guys you couldn’t find. A lot different than some I have run into. Footnote:
every fish I hooked, I watched eat my size 20 spawn. The egg sack guys knocked them out of the park fishing in the lake. They tore them up in the creek as well.
Stocked today and put in over 200 fish. There were some really nice browns and tigers in the bunch, including 3 goldens. The water is low and clear so I am going to pass on fishing for them tomorrow. Did hook 9 carp today and landed 5. http://youtu.be/7yWh7y6rdPM.
The ending is not what I wanted, but do like the underwater action at the beginning of the fight.
