KW: thanks for the report

Ziploc bag your phone-you are very lucky that it works (mine didn't when I slipped in knee deep water)! I hope you filled out a survey because there are only 3-4 being completed each month-DFG needs the data badly as their main indication of how the fishery is doing. RE: lost fish, most guides follow the rodeo rule: at least 9 seconds attached is a successful ride (catch). Hopefully, the kayaks can be removed during the annual creek clean up in September.
