Methow Magic!

Rick, Tom and Brian Anantatmula (sp?) went up to fish the Met today. The morning started with the traditional #7 Breakfast at McDonalds. Orange juice was the morning beverage of choice for those who would hook fish today.

Fortunately for me, the day was to belong to Tom. Six fish were hooked and three were landed. Tom managed to hook 5 and land all 3! 2 Natives were landed (see pic below) as well as one fish for dinner in the smoker tomorrow.


I will say that there is nothing quite as exhilarating as an indicator dive that is followed by a rod tip raise that meets with resistance, a head shake and a run.

Interestingly, it was the hatchery brat that put up the best fight going airborne over 5 times!

2009-2010 has been an outstanding steelhead year in NCW.

    Thanks, Tom, for leaving unnamed who hooked the sixth fish and saving me the embarrassment of your publicly gloating over your owning me.....
