My computer is having an attitude right now so I'm not logged on I'm procaster.

I have been very sick the last couple days so I had to cancel a long awaited, which really sucked, but i felt good enough sunday afternoon to hit the local river.

With the cold weather, I figure the afternoon would be better because the fish would get some sun and be more active. I started at 128th bridge working my way day switching between fly pole and spin rod. I was working down to a drift I found, which is perfect. When I was close enough to see it, there was people fishin it. I had to decide if i should leave or wait for them to leave. I decided to wait and it was getting dark. I had to fish rapids for about 40 minutes waiting for those guys to leave.

Finally, I see the two guys packing up, and I move in After about ten minutes fish on. Right away it jumped and i new i had my late x-mas present on the line.

It ended up being 6lbs. even on the digi. hatchery hen, first winter steel of the year.

I was using my spin pole, it is a light action 10ft. pole with 6lb. main and 8lb. leader. And the big question, what was I using for bait? Yes, you guessed right, just a single whole night crawler. Some times you need to fish different than everyone else to get them to bite.

Good luck
