still drizzling but not as bad today. went back to the river, caught 4 nice trout! used a simple mepp’s spinner in gold. they were hitting like crazy! the bite was on, even with the wind picking up a bit. had a blast out there!
another wet day on the river, but managed to snag a couple of smallmouth bass! around 2-3lbs. dropped my line near the rocks with a crankbait, they were hungry! good thing I got my rain gear on. it’s always fun even when the weather’s sketchy.
ugh, heavy rain today at the Kootenai. not the best fishing, only got 1 channel cat. but hey, a fish is a fish, right? used cut bait and waited it out. the wind was low tho so that was nice. gotta keep trying even on these kinda days!
man, today was a mix of rain and sunshine on the river. caught 2 nice brook trout, about 3lbs each. used a bobber and worms, they seemed to be enjoying it. the rain was kinda annoying but i pushed through and it paid off. river was flowing good, really fun day.
