Twelve Pointer
Landed 10 tonight, the biggest 2 around 2-2.5# ‘bows. One last stop on way home at the Gorge by my house. Lots of pressure but thought mid-week maybe. Waters twice as high as I’ve ever seen. Must have really opened the dam. Had a hit on a Fat head Minnow so re-rigged and first toss a solid hit. I hear the drag singing and get a few light turns on him and he somehow popped my Flouro Leader. A week of rain and snow but I fished anyway. New Okuma Helios Reel and St. Croix 7’6” UL running Berkley Vanish braid with a 4# Flouro Leader. Light drag setting should have easily held. Broke at the swivel/hoop on the leader. Must have caught a lucky snag. Couldn’t happen on a 2-3 lbs. Stockie had to be my biggest trout ever. Know what doing tomorrow in the rain?
