Bull Trout Trip III

Well, I'll tell you right off that there were no bull trout to speak of this trip. Not to worry though. There were some willing players. We both caught whitefish and we both caught a rainbow. As you can see, Dave's was a wee bit bigger than mine. A truley great fish! And we worked hard for those fish! The entire day was an adventure with the deep snow and awful driving conditions. We actually had to jump a snow bank that was blocking the road down to the hole where we caught the bows. Climbing back up out of there required chains. We got about half way up the initial climb out of the B99 hole when we started sliding down into the ditch. We had to back down, chain up and get a running start at it. We saw some of the usual big dogs out at Canyon Creek but couldn't elicit a strike. We had one attack a hooked whitie, which is always fun to watch. A fun day really. I don't get to fish with Dave all that often and it's always fun when I do, so thanks Dave. Let's pray that 09' see's some nice fish come to the net. Happy New Year, everyone. Tight Lines!
