yo, tried to fish today, but it was pouring out. got wet and cold but I did manage to catch a nice 16" rainbow before the rain got too heavy. used a spinner which was great for the fast water. had to pack it up early but hey, a fish is a fish!

decided to brave the patchy rain today, ended up with 5 browns! they were hittin’ on the nymphs hard. water was pretty chilly but felt good. also had a big one on but it broke my line, ugh! using 4x tippet on a 9' rod wasn't enough, guess I need to up my game!
