Glory Hole ;D

well after awaking to my dog barking i decided that i would hit the river for a couple of hours. i Arrived only to find another fisherman already there. He was quick to tell me that it was slow and that he had no fish.I put on a nice piece of "gold" roe and set my drift. My float goes down and not expecting much i pull back thinking it was a snag well the float starts moving and a flash of about 5 fish go everywhere, the fight was on. The fight lasted 5-10minutes, could have been shorter if "buddy" helped land it, but he was on no mood to help. Heres a couple shots of the bullet.

one about to be landed,

another after landing

i continued to fish to some Black Sabbath music(iron man) and i had switched to a silver blade. with my head bobbing up and town to the awesome tunes i watch my float drift down the pool, then sink...Fish On. i get this feisty little fish in after many aerials and long fast runs. "buddy" is gone now so i am all on my own. the fish is in the shallows thrashing, so i decide to back off to let it calm down only to have the hook pop, it was one of those excellent shallow water catch and release methods that many of us are getting good at

That was the last fish of the day for me.
what a great day

Well there Travis my friend, there is a "Glory Hole" on every river I know, but the chrome fish and good visibility pretty much gives the location away. Nice one Fishey!

nice fish,my man. I went out today mid-river for 4 hrs and combined fishing w/ a whole lot of exploring. I can now say there is only 1 hole on the Cap I have not fished. It was alot of down then up then across then over then up then down again. I finished off on the opposite side of the river from a hole I had recently found the way into. Yesterday it produced a healthy handshake ( because my hook was dull and I was only half paying attention, :naughty: ). Today, fully alert and with a fresh hook on, I was rewarded w/ a lovely buck of around 8-9lbs. Didn't see anyone out w/ a rod today at all. It may have to do w/ where I was but I passed by some well worn water and it was all quiet. The fish are in there, they're just few and far between. I've been out 10 or so times this year and have hit 2 in 2 different spots.

only had 20 min to go down and see how the spot looked like before baseball, so i didn't take a rod, and went and checked it out, looked nice, water wasn't perfect, could use some rain.
