Nice work SN...now that's coming back in style... 
Prawn Tail eh? This the pro cured variety a lot of people are using these days, or the uncured safeway variety? I guess this goes a long way towards the g/f letting you go on more fishing trips... ;D
;Dshe wish's she could of been there too. She loves to fish, she just doesn't have any time to, cuz she's working everyday now for the rest of the month. I'll get her out in the spring, when the weather is alot better, and the fish are far more aggresive.
I saw you hit that fish today!! Good job dude! you looked like a pro!! Seen 1 other caught today aswell on a prawn in 1 foot of water at bells acres!! nice 14lbs doe!! I came up short handed, i didn't even have a take down!! :'(

Great Job SN!! I was out yesterday as well. Mind you all I saw was my float rocket under and up river, upon hookset nothing. Felt like a real good take though, went over that spot about 20 more times with a Pro-cured Prawntail to no avail. Still no love for me this year. Nice to see some more fish coming out the last couple days though. Now all I have to do is get ove this nasty cold so I can head out again.

Hey, don't worry Big Steel, you'll get him next time, cuz the next time you won't be sleeping at the wheel. Don't let that one discurage you, next time your out, I know you'll wipe that day off the map. Tight lines!
So I got to work this morning, to see that nobody made it into work. I waited around for about 30 mins and still nobody. I forgot my cell at home, so I couldn't call around... Oh well... I'm goin' fishin' then. I made it to my spot where I got my hatch on sunday, and the water looked purffffffff. 5 minutes of fishing this hole, my float takes a slow take down. I strike!....and miss I quickly reeled in to see that my prawn tail was nearly shreaded. I quickly casted out that same drift, and he pulled it down slow again. This time I get a good hook set, and faught a crome 12lbs wild buck for 15 mins. I snap a quick camera phone pic of it in the water, cuz I knew it was wild, and I didn't want to pull it out of the water. I pulled the hook out of his upper lip, revived him, admired him, and he thanked me with a big tail wipe, and he soaked me good. Solute... I went for a walk and fished a few other spots to none avail.
Helpfull hint: Today while I was fishing, I noticed right away all of the snow melting. It was falling off the trees surrounding the river, and it was making huges splash's on top of the water. Now I knew that the steelies weren't havin' any of that. I clued in to that right away, so I didn't bother fishing the spots I usually fish like undercut banks, or spots with lots of cover. So I went to a big open area with a pool, and I casted short, and short floated. It payed off big today. I hope this helps...

Good points steelynightmare, I guess the first sign was the fact that nobody

..... but this is a labour of love... :-*
Headm up..Movem out...It's almost Prime Time...Marko...

Great job again SN. Sounds like you are dialed in. I am hoping to get out again this weekend, have to lose this cold and see how my thumb is. I think I frostbite it a bit on Sunday, was a stupid move, but I was in a bit of a zone, albeit a fishless one, and I didn't really want to stop to warm up. : I'll figure something out though, and I will hit it again soon. Again great job, and man, I wish I could get a day when no one showed up for work, I would do exactly the same thing. ;D
