ar tomorrow

[TaylerW]

will report!!

Ok, LS, I'll report too. However, I usually don't because there always be about the same and rather boring: Casted for 2-4 hours and hooked 0-4 fish max. And a lot more 0's than 4's! Many times, that's for two rods in a boat. Unfortunately, the AR Striper is becoming a fish of a thousand casts. But the big girls are there, and it's that one big fish hooked every year that keeps me casting. Lately, they've been bigger, 6-12lbs, and the last two outings my partner and I hooked fish both times.

Can't wait for morning to get here...

Hit the AR this morning - upper half of the river. First cast about 20 minutes after first light. Swung everything from small black leech, small brindle bug, dirty bird, pink/tan caddis pupae...nothing. I didn't even see fish holding - which I often do. Maybe BEFORE first light was better...

Oops! Here I'm talking about striper fishing and you guys are in the steelhead forum. :oops:

[TaylerW]

no steelhead. one nice squaw fish. saw some good stripers but nothing would hit.

and to be completely honest. if you dont have anything decent to say, why take your time to be an ass? i mean really? were adults right?

[Dustin Revel]

when you post about a 20lb steelhead and say you have a picture but won't show anybody your credibility takes a bit of a hit wouldn't you say? I don't care how much it weighs i just want to see a big steelhead... its been a while. i figure if i heckle you a little maybe just maybe you'll let me see the picture, regardless if i make myself look like an ass or embarrass you a little... i just wanna see a big norcal steelhead i haven't seen before.

[CODY]

[Fochetti]

Me as well, no heckling just like fish pics, especially of steel close to home.

A group of us (3 people) floated the upper stretch of the Lower American yesterday and while we saw lots of fish from small steelhead we bumbed while drifting to a few nice single Stripers our catching was, well left something to be desired. We did manage a small striper and another fish as well as a few takes that went un-touched.
I was dissapointed in how inconsiderate the others floating the river are in regards to proper boating etiquette. We had a hard time keeping quiet and steathly fishing some of the better runs with all the kayakers who would run right over our rigs when we would leave pleanty of room behind us and the bank. It was frustrating to say the least. ](*,)
Over all though we all had a good day and a day fishing is worth it, no matter what.....
