Russian 1/13

I'm so pumped just got off the river. Spent the morning helping a plumber install a new shower in our bath, than went to the river and fixed the water supply problem to our cabin.  Wanted to hit the hole but some guys were racing RC boats crap. paddled upstream for nada. Drifted to my home hole nothing on plugs switched to drifting as soon as the sun dropped behind the trees the fish went on the bite landed 3 in an hour. everytime I catch one of these I can't belive how hard they fight. all 3 over 10lbs 1 Buck about 12 1/2 -13.

Beauty! I went zippo today. Out in the AM and again in the PM.

Still waiting for my first steelhead......ever!

CHEERS!

ENVY!
