[#008080][size 3]Thought I'd post a few pics from a 9 day'er at the Gorge.
[/size][/#008080][#008080][size 3]Fishing was spotty to say the least. The weather is [#ff0000]HOT - HOT[#008080] and if ya can't get out at 5:30 am....( the wife AINT getting up that early )... and catch them, the bite is usually off by 9ish.[/#008080][/#ff0000][/size][/#008080][size 1]
[/size][#008080][size 3]We caught a variety of fish, just not as many as I would have liked.[/size][/#008080][size 1]
[/size][#008080][size 3]Every day the weather was fantastic in the morning up through early afternoon, and then the Monsoon clouds took over. Thunder, Lightning, and Rain. Don't get me wrong, I loved it when the sound and light show came and the rain cooled things right down to comfy.[/size][/#008080][size 1]
[/size][#008080][size 3]Lures were changed every 1/2 hour or so trying to find the "magic bullet", but like I said, ya gotta get there early or it doesn't matter much what you have on the end of the line.[/size][/#008080][size 1]
[/size][#008080][size 3]We did however catch a real nice Koke, and even a Brown Trout around the Lost Dog canyon area.[/size][/#008080][size 1]
[/size][#008080][size 3]Through out the week, the hottest lure/blade combination I tried was the Shasta Orange/Gold Sling Blade with the Glow Red "Hot" Head Cripplure in trail. I also did ok with the Pink Flamingo Pee Wee behind a Shattered Eye Sling Blade.[/size][/#008080][size 1]
[/size][#008080][size 3]We used Pro-Cure Super Gel scents in these flavours...Kokanee Special, Predator, Carp Spit, Crawfish, Sweet Corn, Krill.[/size][/#008080][size 1]
[/size][#008080][size 3]One of the pics is of a wingged critter. Can anyone tell me what it is?[/size][/#008080][size 1]
[/size][#008080][size 3]The Koke has a girth of 14 inches BTW.[/size][/#008080][size 1] [/size]
