I floated two days on the South Fork of the Eel this past weekend with my brother. I'm used too bragging after a weekend of fished, but today I'm licking my wounds and eating a big piece of humble pie. We did not touch a fish either day.
We floated from Benbow to PG&E. The water color was perfect. And there were fish in the area. We saw a few guys throwing glow bugs on a Spey rod who hooked 4 on Sunday. I talked to another guy throwing a Spey rod who landed a 6 and a 12 pounder, both on Comets.
It seemd like every time I floated around a turn there was a guy hooked up. I guess it just wasn't my weekend.
One good note was the river was a bit crowded, but everyone seemed to share the water and be pretty respectful. I enjoyed talking to a number of guys on the river this weekend. I just wished I had a few fish stories to be able to tell instead of listening to theirs........ The first zeros of the year have now been entered onto my steelhead punch card.
