JC,

Anatomy of a battle. (the photos are not all from the same day, but all reflect the story well)

I connected to her on a down stream swing from about 40 ft upstream of that position.


10 seconds after the connection, I had to scamble over the rocks in the brook to get below the gallery (I love caulked wading boots!!)


I let her run the whole length of the pool as she was a fresh from the sea hen and NOTHING can stop that on the first run:
A look DOWN the #23 pool to the rapids


She stopped herself just before the rapids, I let up pressure and she came back BY HERSELF and buried her nose under a log on the far side.

I threw a rock to get her out and muscled her in to the position you see in the first pic in the thread.

Quick click and release:
