After numerous days of abuse from Dan about my ability to row and fish; we went out onIMG_1086 SM IMG_1092 SM the river to see what I could actually do. Marty joined us. He was a bit chilly early in the day and warmed up as the weather did. We were unsure about the weather the days prior when we were planning this day off together but we kept with our original plan, launch the boat at 11 am. We Floated from Ruby to Varney and planned to take off whenever we were done fishing. We started off the trip throwing streamers. The browns wanted the big meat Delektable brown/yellow double screamers, and the Delektable black double screamer. The fish weren’t overly aggressive to a fast moving Streamer, if you slowed it done with smaller movements that would induce a strike. Also the Skwallas were out and the Delektable Olive Hurless size 8 and the Delektable Olive mega prince size 8 caught a lot of fish. With the water being a light green color it made it easy to see the buckets against the shallower water. Don’t be afraid to fish the smaller stuff such as 16 Delektable root beer Serengolds, and some olive Shop Vacs for caddis.
