A double digit day in early December, as well as not getting skunked for all of December.

January - well, that's a different story!

Parker

The whole month of December was good to me and my buddys, except Brian because he brougt bananas

Seven float trips in December, locally might I add, yielded 27 hookups. Then wouldn't you know it, the fish Gods gave up on me and I finally came back blank when I got to the ramp between first and second week of January. I even crackered off two steelies last weekend. My luck has not been too great so far at all in 2001, at least as far as fishing goes, but I have been very consistent with the ladies so far this year! And yes Parker, strippers need love too!!

My best day this winter was Sat. Hooked 5 landed 4. The biggest was a 12lb hatchery hen. The other 3 were nates and are still swimming.

Havent had any days to write home about this year. Was slow but consistant for me untill the 14th of this month, than the bottom droped out. I think my best day this year was in late december I think I hooked 5 and landed 3. My last five times out all I got was on steelie Jack about 20in. Havent had a bite in over a week. I think Im going to take a vacation from fishing for a couple of weeks, see if the action is better in mid Feb.

Who am I kidding, I live accross the street form the Duc and ushually when I say Im going to take a week off it only lasts till tomorrow.

Yes, I actually have had some great days this year , but as Bob was saying I wish I could have spread those numbers out over the whole season. I was on cook creek on my birthday, which was opening day and My partner and I quit counting at 40 fish. best steelhead day of my life. I caught 2 hatchery fish in December on the coast one which was 18 lbs 10 oz and one that was almost 17 lbs. I have been doing alot of exploring and been lucky enough to get the onesy and twosy's while learning new water, which dosen't happen to often. But It has had it's slow times, One river I frequent I have usaully caught a good 20 to 30 out of by now has given me a big 3, wow it is terrible, I hope things turn around. For all of us because it looks bad now.
