There was a nice bump in the hydro graph over night so I was on the Catt at first light. There was still good visibility in the water accompanied by a very nice flow.
The best part of the morning is that it slowed down the aggressiveness of the bass bite and kept them off the line. I only caught 5 of those things today.
This morning the steelhead were hungry for jigs in various colors and pink worms. I didn't try roe but I am sure it would have worked. After the first half hour I met up with Jerry and Magic Mike and they did their thing.
I cut it short after about three hours as I was having wicked line twist. So I am off to Gander to get new line and I guess I will have to play like the other kids and use a swivel above my float in addition to the one connecting my main line to the floro. Gee in the old days I would blood knot all my connections and don't remember so many problems.
I am off for new line as there was no tolerating the twist and finishing of the morning.
Nice to see that there are still some available, Joe.
