I kept fishing the same hole, with the same flies for the next half hour after that with no luck. So my question is; when a fish gets hooked then gets ...

Spawners on the redds
(Preview)
PCT is interested in finfing out if you have seen active spawners on the redds at the usual places. Much of the best areas appear to be weed choked and the one fish I saw today was finning up a cloud of silt every time she made a pass over the gravel-not a good sign. This is an informal follow up to last years SC...
