We stopped at the Lester on the way back from
the Sucker and spotted a couple of steelhead below the bridge.
We got our our gear and got into position below the bridge. They
spooked
easily, but you could get a couple of drifts on the fish before
they swam
off under the bridge. I was unsuccessful with a couple of different
egg patterns and wooly buggers, but Justin hooked up with a nice
female on an egg-sucking leech.
It was tought to get them in the late afternoon sun, but it was
nice to find some fish in the Lester. The crowds were suprisingly
low and the people that were fish weren't catching many. Most of
the fish were moving up river and spooked easily. |
