After the trip we got home and I was uploading the pictures from the camera. At first glance everything seemed okay, maybe a little cropping was in order and then I saw a little something out of place.
Some random expletive rolled out as I smiled and had a nice chuckle about it. I clearly hadn't seen Bill when I took the picture. So I had some cropping fun and "Little Billy" was born.
Now fast forward to today (5/29/09) and Bill and I went back up to the scene of the crime hoping to find those big piggy rainbows again with the built-in photo opportunities.
Imagine my glee when I see Bill trying to take a self portrait of a fish he just caught and he has his back to me. Could I pass this up??? Heck no...... so later that evening I get an email with evidence of a successful photo hijacking.
That is FANTASTIC!!!!!
So how was the fishing? The river was blowing hard in the morning and the off-color river makes me think the reservoir is turning over. We caught a few but no big daddy's today. Around noon the river dropped a good 6 inches and that pretty much killed it. I did have one really great strike on a grey Zonker that was a classic territorial strike. No way that fish was coming off the hook - it was set clear through the side of the mouth. I think the overall most consistent pattern today were bright red worm patterns or even "dirty worms" as I call them.
I'm really hoping the run-off water holds for another couple weeks so I can make at least one more journey up there in hopes of clear water and bigger fish.
