While everyone is out hunting I enjoy keeping the jigging dream alive. I'll get my share of hunting in, but having the fishing all to myself is pretty tough to pass up. I've been fighting a head cold all week, but I just had to get out of the house on Saturday. I made it about 2 hours before my cold caught up to me and my energy ran out. While I didn't catch a lot of fish the size and quality was there.
This super nice brownie slammed my jig on my second cast. It was a great way to start the day!
Shortly after the brown this pretty and stocky rainbow made its debut.
A few casts later another very nice brown trout tried to tear the rod out of my hands. Fighting these fish in a strong current is so much fun it should be illegal. I'm sure glad that it is not.
There was about a 20 minute pause of no fish and then this hefty rainbow showed up.
I ended the day with this long/skinny 21.5" river rainbow. It was a great couple hours. I wish I would have had the stamina to stay longer, but it just wasn't in me. In fact, as I sit here Monday morning, I'm still feeling the effects of playing outside when I should have been in bed. However, looking back, I wouldn't change a thing.
