Well, where do I start. Thought it was going to be a nice four day weekend fishing the feather for some steel. Well, No sireeeee BOB.
I arrive at my favorite hole to see 3 other vehicles. NO problemo, move to another hole, well, 2 white trucks and a minivan on the side of the river later I decide to try a spot that has never produced. J.C. a car there as well. WTF people, does not anyone work on Friday!!!
So, I decide to go fish. After about 1.5 hours of fishing, nice solid dead drifts, I get a tug, no dice, I am lazy and a bit frustrated with the crowds. BUT boyy oh boy does the day get BETTER.
I fish 3 other holes only to not only be low-holed by other wade fisherman, but there is a damn jet boat on the water. I don't know who it belonged to, but if you own a purple jet boat and have a cowboy sorta style, next time, please give the bank fisherman some space and let us work a run to. I know you may have a paying cliient. but hell man, hows about some respect. INTRUSIVE.
So, not only where there many bank fisherman but many boats as well. Pounding the hell outta my fav holes, my honey holes, apparently theirs too. Hope the honey has gone stale as I landed one fish, missed 2 others, and only say a few boats pull some out. Minus the intrusive purple people eater cowboy boat that seemed to pull fish out from the end of my line. Did I say intrusive once?
ANyway, I am heading elsewhere fo the remaining 3 days of my 4 day weekend. I know there aint no head like steelhead, but when I am taking it from both ends on the river, I will take no head and find some nice trout infested waters either farther east or north.
Just be careful not to blow your whole weekend on being low holed and having steel stolen from your line!!!
Damn, sorry about the ferocity of the post, but rude guides, and even ruder low holers do not make me a happy boy when I have 4 days to FEESH!!!
