Decided to get back to the Bear River, even if all I could do was sit in my truck and watch the rain. Got to the water and had lines wet at 1048 a.m. Barely had time to get them set, get back in the truck for what I figured would be a long, wet day, pour a cup of coffee, and first rod bent over.
10:59 a.m. Cat # 1 landed. Not the monsters that John and Jig-fisher have caught, but my best one this year.
25 minutes later, rain started to let up, even got some sun peeking thru the clouds, and second pole bent over and line started screaming upriver.
In less than an hour, landed 2 good contest bump Cats. Then it was a long sit and wait. Had a 3rd hit that turned out to be a junior kitty still wearing her spotted skin, did a quick release, no photo. About 2 p.m. more sun thru the clouds, and Jig-fisher showed up at my truck window and introduced himself. Now I know who the 2 top dawgs in the Cat contest are by sight. My 2 Cats today should put me up to only 10 points behind him and John. Feels good to get out of that drafty, skunky basement, even if for only a little while. [fishon]
