Thanks REE. It is a pretty area. And this time of year there is plenty of solitude, which is a welcome change up there. Like you I think it was a spawned out female. She was very healthy and full of energy, just very snakey.
Thanks for the comment MM. It was a great Bday to finally get out on the water again after a long hiatus. Hopefully I can sneak away a couple more times this month before the holidays hit.
Yes my friend your cold weather reports got me motivated. The nicest thing about fishing this time of year is having your pick of the best spots on the river. Basically drive the river until you find fish rising, get out and start plucking them off. Best of luck to you in your upcoming operation. Next year we will hit a river somewhere together I hope.
