Porkins


PORKINS
I fished this morning from 6:30am-10am. The water was flowing at 1550 cfs and the water temperature was 61 degrees according to the USGS. It was very overcast and rainy today, perfect weather for some fishing. I fished for over 2 hours with no strikes, used various flies underneath the indicator and then decided to throw some big meat. I didn't even get a chase.



Hook Jaw
I moved into some more favorable water for nymphing and ran into......PORKINS. This stud came in at 26 inches and had the biggest Hook Jaw I have ever scene! This was the first time catching a fish of this size by myself so landing him was a very interesting process. Needless to say I got him in and shot some video with the GOPRO. Attached are the snapshots I took from the video. I only landed 1 more fish, a nice 15 inch brown and then had to leave when the fishing seemed to be picking up.

    Fishing reports are an ideal way to know what you're getting into for your fishing excursion.
