was out yeserday and today on a west trib.

 

yesterday was retarded. the water was overflowing the bank at several spots and there was literally no way to fish without snagging shoreline structure or submerged plantlife

 

today however was really good!

the water dropped down to a reasonable level and the warm air must have got the bite going because it was on

i landed one little fish but i had 5 on total. id say 2 of them landed but the one came off the hook right near shore with a head shake.

 

using brown trout roe. they were smashing it. i arrived at first light and fished till 10am. i usually would stay longer but all my roe got smashed off or torn. it was crazy how many hits i was getting.

not sure what was up with the hook sets though kept losing fish untill the last 1. never had that problem so i just chalk it up to bad luck

 

anyways heres a vid of the conditions and a pic of the one i landed..

water looks surprisingly clear near shore but it was really muddy, 6 inch visibility max

 

chocolate!
