I drove to the river to meet Ryan after I was done shopping with Brittany yesterday. Got there at about 6:30. The beach was lined with people. Ryan told me that he had caught one so far and just before I got there, there was a HUGE school of fish that just passed by. He said there must have been thousands. People were fishing like crazy to try and catch them but none were biting! Bastards!
After about 5 minutes Ryan caught another! The guys from the next group over came over to check it out. They seemed very frustrated that Ryan had caught 2 and seemed to be the only guy catching them. Then, I got a bite! I tipped the end up and reeled like crazy. Took about a couple minutes to get up on shore, he fought like crazy. When I finally got him up on shore he came off the hook, my rod went flying into some trees and Ryan came running over to stop the fish from flopping back into the water. It was awesome. As Ryan was dealing with the fish, I could hear the men down the river talking; "Did that chick just catch a fish?!" "What the hell!" "We need to step this shit up" - I couldn't help but chuckle. All in all a great day. Going back again today! The pinks are only here for another couple weeks, then come Chum and Chinook. Exciting!
