This creek should have been named doghobble creek

First effing cast, the bug de girdle was hammered. Things were hot the first hour with hookup or strikes in nearly every pool and pocket.

LoginThis fella gave me a thrill. As soon as resistance was felt, he broadsided the current and took off down the creek. Made chase down a rapid, and then he proceeded to head for woody cover. Squeezed the line and said a prayer for the 4x. Thank goodness the leader had been reconstructed 15 minutes earlier!

LoginAfter a while, things slowed down a bit. The browns were biting but very gently and were simply holding the goods in their mouth whilst being somewhat stationary. This was rather frustrating...could not detect the hook ups until lifting the rod tip.
Managed to snap up a 9-10" brookie which was unexpected. This is a fairly large drainage (9 sq. mi) and altitude low (1600').

LoginUpstream movement was becoming rather tedious. The falls was about 10'. The rock bluff to the right that required flanking was about 40'. In addition to obstructions, it was getting rather chilly and I was wet wading and cold.

LoginDamn, more ahead. It was 3 pm....a bit late to be busting out crap such as this. I needed to be home by 5.30. Four fine hours on the water did the job. I was about .3 of a mile short of my goal of making it up to a major trib. I had hoped to molest some natives up there.
