[#0000FF]Thanks for the words of appreciation and consolation. I got to thinking. That is actually the first fishing rod I have ever lost over the side of my tube in over fifty years of fishing afloat. And it was a freak thing. The rod holders I use are designed to hold a rod more firmly as more pull is exerted on the other end. I have successfully hooked and landed thousands of fish with them...some over ten pounds...and never a broken rod, broken line or loss of a rod. Then wham...a complete outfit gone in seconds...just because of the way those goofy tiger trout behave.
Glad you had a good trip to Starvy. I had my best fishing from just before noon to about 1:30 last Monday. Would have stayed and fished longer but the breeze started kicking up...and I was tired after kicking all over Rabbit Gulch for several hours.
What depths were you fishing and at what depths did you see the "globs" of fish?
