Justin from the Urban Bone Fisher and I made our now annual trip up to the North Shore to fish Loopers and Steelhead for the weekend. We were putting on our waders when a Wisconsin van pulled up and out popped MP from the Rambling Reports. I had forgotten that he had said he was headed up with Fatman, Red Hat, and the rest of his fishing crew. We headed down to the river and were excited to find that there were fish around. The water was lower then we expected, but the fish started coming in as it grew closer to evening. They began pairing up in the shallow water, making them easy targets. I hooked up with and landed 3 fish, all on the now deadly egg-sucking leech pattern. Justin also landed a couple of fish before we headed back to the hotel to meet up with his dad. We headed out early the next morning and made sure to get our hot spot. I hooked two nice females swinging San Juan’s through the tail end of the pool. The shallow water was hot as MP’s crew was nailing fish everywhere. He was fishing a new bamboo rod and was having trouble setting the hook on the big Loopers. As we were talking he hooked into his first bamboo fish. I netted the Looper and took a couple of shots of the fish for him. We met up with Belisle, Tom, and Smitty, who all had a blast catching fish in the lower section down by the Lake. Tom landed his first fish on his fly rod, looking like an expert. I managed five fish, with the early and morning producing the most fish. We returned again early the next morning and again got into our spot. The shallow water was again the hotspot and the fish were paired up early. We managed to hook a couple of fish, but Justin was the only one to land one. Egg Sucking leeches produced the most fish, with bright colored San Juans and Egg patterns producing in the deeper holes. We didn’t manage any hawgs this year or any steelhead, most of the fish were in the 22-26 inch range.
