Fishing Diary

Another great day for the Weights. I gave the guys a few options and it was decided to attempt to get a trophy despite the possibility of not hooking a fish all day. In the end 5 nice rainbows were hooked and 4 landed weighing 6.33, 6, 5.75 and 4.25 pounds. The high point for me was finding my sage rod that got accidentally flushed down a rapid. We found it 50 meters further down below a rapid later - lucky!
