Left the house at 2 am friday morning with cousin Dom, buddy vic, and sisters boyfreind Marcus and met up with my dad and his buddy Andrew at Fat Nancys at 630 am. Scouted the river basically the entire friday. Fished between staircase and black hole, very very very slow, saw a steel head and a king landed. Fished the tressel. I hooked up with 5, just missed landing 1 and other 4 had no chance of landing...
Saturday morning, headed for a private access area behind a lodge in altmar... (steep cliff with a rope to get up and down!) ... nice little hole there, fished for steelhead and tried for some browns to start the morning... Dad landed a 6 pound steelhead to start off the bat, using a chartruese egg sac...Then I hooked up with a small King landed that, then I hooked up with a nice coho landed that, then my buddy vic hooked up with a nice male coho landed that, then I hooked up with a 12 pound 30 inch steelheaded and landed that. Now in between all of these landings were about 30 fish ons between the 6 of us, and most of them were cohos with 100 hp motors hooked up to there asses.... no chance of landing them.... ate at eddys place for italian buffet and a few beers that night, woke up next morning 5 -6 am and headed for same spot...
Sunday was slooooooooooooooooooooow... I landed the only fish, another small King. Very few hook ups.... buddy Vic lost what I say a 25#+ Male Coho, beautiful red color black head, also no chance of landing it, but fought it hard for about 10 minutes....
All in all, fantastic time, great memories, some fillets for the house and some freinds....Stayed at costello's on route 3...
Back at it this weekend!!
