Third day in the morning we split up. One car was going south and the other one north. I was in the north one. A small part of my luggage…

 

The day was cloudy and the temperature was low, excellent weather for steelhead fishing. This time we were fishing a bigger river and we needed to use spey rods or switch. My setup for that day…

 

 

First fish of the day

 

 

Back into the water…

 

 

Hari’s turn to land the second one

 

 

And Sebastian with his first steelhead

 

 

Colors

 

 

Going back…

 

 

Hari doing what he likes … nymphing…until the end of the day he landed 3 more fish.

 

 

Fourth day. Rivers from the south area. Walking through the forest…

 

 

Green explosion…

 

 

First fish of the day…landed on a sandy beach…

 

 

The second good fish … a brown trout…

 

 

And in every good hole or run I got two or three of these three years old steellie.

 

 

You can see they lived in the lake from the silver/black coloration…

 

 

 

Colors…

 

 

An older one…

 

 

In his world…

 

 

Colors..

 

 

In the afternoon I changed the river. This time I was alone, my friends were trying to catch a plane in Detroit, so I was fishing for them 🙂 … The day before the river was too high, but that day the level dropped and the color was gin clear.

 

 

View from the left bank

 

 

Alone in the forest…

 

 

Small angry rainbow

 

 

And then in the perfect run I found the perfect fish…the biggest brown I ever landed on that Creek… Long body…

 

 

…big mouth…

 

 

…strong back…

 

 

…beautiful colors…

 

 

…going back to the deeps

 

 

This spring I started to use a different tactic. I am going up nymphing and I am coming down swinging. Going down…and that tree over the water was telling me that somebody is hiding there…

 

 

..and I was right…

 

 

…my first brown caught on a Hoh-Bo fly

 

 

And this was the end of a four days/eight rivers trip… great time spent with my friends.
