Hopefully these pics in the posts aren't too big. If they are, I'm sure the mods will resize or let me know so that I can delete the pictures and re add them as attachments.
Went out yesterday to a familiar spot with my buddy Richard, his wife Chandelle and my fiance Wendy. Started the girls out fishing first and then Rich and I got into the act. Rich and Chandelle started it off catching the first couple and then Wendy and I hooked into fish as well. Wendy wound up with only a couple fish on the day but she still had a good time. I promised her that next time I'd hook her up with spinners so that she wouldn't have to develop the "feel" that our other methods require.... thats actually how I started fishing is with spinners so I'd be able to help her out with that style too. Chandelle was whacking the fish pretty consistently and Richard and I also got our fair share on plastics. We fished through the same section we hit the last time and made the decision to go a little further downstream. Wendy and I went to a section that has produced some nice wild rainbows for me before but I only wound up with a couple bulky browns... no complaints here!!!
We walked further downriver to find Rich and Chandelle, only to see them heading back. Richard said that they stuck a couple fish down there but I wasn't there obviously so I'll let him explain that part of the trip or add whatever he wants. As they walked back, I fished a fast moving riffle area with my minnow and actually got to see the big brown roll on my bait. As soon as I saw him gobble it, I set the hook and had the privelege of landing a nice brown in front of my friends... gave me a pretty good sense of satisfaction. It was a good day, although a bit chilly at times, but the company, the fishing, and the scenery would be near impossible to beat. Here's some pictures... my camera had a smudge on the lense so thats why my pictures are a bit cloudy.
One of Chandelle's early browns
Richard and a nice typical brown trout
Channy and Wendy fishing
A picture of me hooked up.
Channy and a NICE brown that she caught
One of the two nice thick browns I caught from my "rainbow" hole
The other one....
Chandelle taking five after a good hike downstream.
My last big brown I caught with an audience.
