Weber River 5-6

[TyeDyeTwins]

Weber River - Arrived at noon. 1st cast my twin landed a brownie. We walked up and I had to un-snag my twins rapala as I had the waders on. Sure enough I thought hell why not throw a cast upstream. Well a huge brown came following with a mouth wide open, and it stopped and closed its mouth. I thought "crap it saw me, oh well set the hook". This thing peeled drag! I then realized I forgot the net! I tried 5 times to pick up the beast by hand only to have it swim vigerously out of my hand! I tried gill grabbing, tail grabbing, body grabbing, etc. The 6th time the beast un hooked himself. It was 23 inches long and FAT! I was about to puke and go home.

Never again will I set foot to fish without a net handy.
So a few casts later I was greeted by a smallmouth bass in a river.

A few more casts later another smallie got off the hook after a great battle. Oh well the browns were infesting the place and we had lots of fun. We drove to find angler access points and were happy to find one. I caught my 1st ever Mtn. Whitefish, crossing that one off the bucket list! More and more browns came to hand. We left at 8:15pm as the bite shut off at 7:45pm.

In total I caught 22 brown trout, 1 Mtn. Whitefish and 1 SMB. My twin caught 21 brown trout. I was using a blue fox gold spinner in size #1. My twin was using a rainbow trout CD3 rapala. 45 fish aint bad at all!
