FISH ON!!!!! All day long thats what we said. Went fishing with my Uncle, cousin and his GF. We was hooking into chums left and right. Releasing most of them I ended up keepin 2 for the smoker. My uncle landed 2 nice silvers. Guess on weight would be 10-12 lbs. or so. Not a bad day at all. Id love to get back down to this river again soon. Maybe monday. Oh Yeah if you plan on going out there and try some dog fighting. Get ya some good line. Lots of poundage. 20-30 main and at least 15 on the leader and I was snapping that left and right. I may get some 20 lb leader for this type of action. Tight lines all!

Im not sure of the different holes it was my first time fishing this river. I saw what Im thinkin is called the log jam hole with all the pileons and fallen trees and water weaving all over the place. I was down river just a bit from there. Have to go down a steep lil hill then wade through a lil hole to shore and then pretty much a 200 yd section that seemed like it didnt matter too much where you was fishing but faster water seemed like a lil more action.

Nice flinginpooh. How big were those chums? They must fight hard to snap your 20# line. Jens and I are planing on getting us some dogs soon. Hopefully they will start coming in to our local rivers - puyallup/carbon/nisqually.

What fun! Try Maxima line, it really is in my opinion the best stuff out there. PS: remember all the manufacturers strongly recommend replacing your line every season, and that's not just because they want to make a few $$. Havn't been down there in a good long while but if memory serves me correctly that stretch of river has or had all kinds of barbed wire fencing and posts to keep the cows home. I would guess it would not matter much who's line your running once you hit that kind of stuff. Good on you dude!

Im not sure of the barb wire. The chums and this is just a guess cause I didnt weigh any of them ranged between 8 and lil over 20 lbs most of them was around 12-15 lbs. But the current along with all the snags in the water that they try to hide in make it a tough fight. The have sharp teeth that nick the line up is what Im thinkin. They jump sooooo much and thrash around when hooked.
