I finaly got a chance to get to the streams for the first time in 2010.
Because of the lack of time I decided to make this year’s début on the North Branch of the Whitewater River.
I found the river to be rather low and clear. Water temps are running at 52 degrees and the trout were hungry.
It was a beautiful sunny day with the temperature close to 80.
I tied on a barbless Silver Bladed Black Pear Super Bow and never changed.
The second cast that I made produced a great 17” Brown and the 2010 season was on its way. I started at 3:00 and fished until 6:00.
I landed a total of eight fish the smallest measured just under 12”.
The count was almost even with five Rainbows and three Browns.
A couple of the Rainbows were real beauties, not quite as long as the largest Brown, but having a much deeper and thicker body, they most definitely out weighed him.
The strikes were savage and powerful, they really liked that Silver Black Pearl!
Keeping it short for now!
Until next time…
Stay low slow and with the flow, and don’t go without your Bow!
