Got my first (early) Summer today!

Postby bran_man on Sat Apr 09, 2011 8:40 pm

Went out on the McKenzie today and managed to hook into and early summer hen! She was a great fight and very acrobatic jumping 3 times and running 5 times. I caught her on a pink with a small stripe of red yarn ball (Steelhead stalker YARN of course!!!!!) under a float. Seeing that float go under is a great feeling! I think that if I was using any other yarn beside S.S. uv yarn, I probably wouldn't had had any action today. So thanks Chad/Daniel for making that fine quality yarn! time to whip up some more yarn balls! Ps. Sorry I'm making such a weird face! I was closing my eyes in the midst of the picture being taken.

You look like you had one to many drinks! =)) We were just talking about the McKenzie today. There are quite a few steelhead over the falls. Good job on the fish and were glad the yarn is working for ya! \M/

Good job, that is a nice fish. It is great to see some early chrome and the fact that it came on some UV yarn is a bonus for sure.
