Tricky

Trout are tricky man. I left work early for a bit of R an R and hit passage creek in GW National forest, which is an hour away. It was stocked a few weeks ago, and there are trout there, but man, are they tricky. I had a several short strikes that were made so much worse because I watched the fish chase them and miss. Then I had quite a few followers, some where pretty nice trout. Its so exciting to watch them materialize from nowhere and chase it, but your heart drops just as quickly when they stop or turn offI did have a tiny but beautiful chunky bronze smallmouth smash my spinner with a vengeance. No trout, no pictures. Hopefully the wind dies down on the bay before friday - I am supposed to go on a rockfish charter with some guys from work, tomorrow its supposed to be 4-5 ft waves. Keep your fingers crossed.
But the trout have me wanting to go back...

Deck!
