Trinity 1/6/09

[dave earl]

Pat Campell and I drifted the Trinity Jan 6 with guide Greg Hector. In spite of me breaking my prized Anderson custom Sage RPL 896 we had a good day, I landed 2 adults and Pat landed a nice brown, an 8 pounder and a 10 pounder. We indicator fished with BH Hare's ears and #14 Copper Johns.
Greg is a great guide, highly recommended-his phone number is 530 515 5918

Dave, great fish. What a great day. I'm new to steelhead fishing and can't imagine what it must be like to have a fish like that on the line. Thanks for the report and the great photos.

Upper Klamath River has been good too.

...sorry to be the naysayer but your buddy sure has a deathgrip on that fishes heart, and nearly the gills. Take it easy.......

That fish looks dead anyway. besides, its not wild. No worries.

Nice day!!

Hey Jworg
You're right, it looks pretty harsh. What I do for a pic is grip the meaty tail part hard and just cradle the fish with the other hand.
Jbird,
I know what you mean but the guide revived her for a while and she bolted away.

...i dont mean to blast, and that is nothing i havent done and worse until i was lucky enough to learn or be told different......right on catching the nice fish and sharing.

Hey Wjorg
I emailed my buddy Pat about his fish handling and he emailed back
"they're just jealous cause THEY'RE not squeezing the s... out of a ten pounder"!!!
Pretty funny

[wjorg]

...pretty idiotic actually. He's the one with the rookie clentch online.....and get a scale....the downstreamer he caught aint 10 pounds
