Hit the SBR, Musky and BFB W/my 2 boys this week end. KLG Fri afternoon and Sat morning, musky Sat evening and BFB all day Sun. Fri and Sat I had the kids high sticking and Sun we mixed it up a bit and got into some good action on top.
The Gorge gave up some fish for sure but all cookie cutter bows. The Musky was insane Sat evening though, the kids each put double digits in the net. The few times I got to hold a rod netted me a near 20" bow that had to be 8" across and fought like hell along with a beautiful wild brown around 14" that worked over my 11' 3wt but good!
Sun was a real treat though stumbling into steady risers right outta the gate. Both the kids got a few on top w/Groberts touch dubbed caribou caddis. Fish were a little tougher in the bigger pools so a POP dropper was used to net a few more(I'll post a link later) 1 a very very nice bow. Late in the afternoon we found a hole with a bazillions fish stacked up in it and we let the kids go to town for awhile.
Around 3 we broke for lunch and blew $120 sampling Greek food (4 of us, 2 adults) and god was it worth every penny!
The rest of the evening was spent checking out new water and seeing how much damage jeep trails can inflict on a jetta sport wagon.
The only casualty was my 2 day old 11' 3wt esn being snapped in half by my 11yr old. He was alone when it happened so what actually transpired will never be known. That's three rods halved in less than a year for that kid!
I burned !!MILES!! of tippet w/ those brats this weekend!!!!!!!!!!
