[nocoho]

what a great day to be on the river yesterday, weather was incredible and we only came across 3 other fisherman all day

lots of activity and as bent rod said not typical to see all this chrome.......my buddy lost one that was a chrome bullet, one that was somewhat colored up and released one almost chrome hatch about 7 lb(no pic).......i released one hatch very nice size and kept one beauty about 12 lbs and lost one other......3 other hits between us for the day that did not stick

and now for something completely different......around 4:30 i noticed some movement underneath this rock so i moved the rock and there were all these fry coming up from the sand ( now the spot is about 8 feet from the water).....well we started putting them in the river and more and more kept coming up......we must have put a hundred of these little guys in the river before it stopped.....never seen anything like it before.....one guy came into the run as we were doing this and lent us a hand and said he had never seen this before either but was pretty sure they were pink fry....wild.....as we were finished fishing for the day i told him where i had the just nailed the hatch i kept and second cast he nails a beaut but lost it......eventful day

Yep the water table is still okay under the gravel, so they come up and attempt to leave the redd...

Unfortunatley there will be a few lost this year due to the lower water, I've already seen a few dead ones...

Cheers,

Nice fish nocoho! Good for you for helping out those little fry. Hopefully that doesn't significantly effect any stocks.

great day out there for your group. good on ya putting in those little ones. i would have been turning rocks over everywhere trying to find more to save :thumbup: especially if i had already bonked my fish (boredom) its really sad we have such low water for these fry trying to get out because most of the water pinks tend to spawn in is now shore :'( we need some rain and HOT weather to bring up that water.
