Del Valle Jan 2nd .

Wet day , but fun .

Drifted power bait off the bottom  after getting no hits trolling .
The drift past the end of the dock was the trick a bite just about every drift  , easy limits . let a few go and one ran 4 ibs .. not quite 17 , but fun none the less .
I even manged to catch one fish when my line snagged the swivel on the leader it had stuck in its mouth after someone else broke it off .
No idea how it happened , it had taken a marsh mallow from someone else , not sure how long those things last , but it had actually pooped it out with the hook , and the leader was running right through its gut  , goes to show how tought they are .

How can you tell whats a Lassen plant BTW ?

Happy new year

Dave

Dude!  I try not to give people too much crap about no pictures (I'm in recovery...), but OMG, you gotta show some detail on something that gruesome!     I caught a greenling from the rocks near Petrolia several years back and it had a steel leader and swivel coming out the wrong end - fish are tough some times - probably tougher than they wanted to be, passing that! 

Welcome aboard, dgoddard.   

WTG on being out there in the rain Dave. Congrats on the your limit of trout and
welcome to NCKA.
