Well, I guess one has to report on a fishing trip even when the fish win! Fished the South Fork of the Snake today with Spook just down from Pali
es Dam. We fished up one side of the river and then down the other side to the boat dock at Palies Creek,
Fished Rapalas, both floating and countdown models, in areas reccommended by Fish & Game officers for some good chances at some Rainbows. Spook fished with Rapala's also. When that didn't wok tried Panther Martin spinners. Cast some Rooster Tails at them too! Tried some other odds and ends from the tackle bag. Nothing!!
What a "Bummer"! It was a nice day to be on the river. Did see a Bald Eagle in majestic flight soaring towards the top of a nearby tree overlooking the river. Talked with other anglers on the river who didn't seem to be having much luck either.
What a "Bummer". Hope this hatch doesn't last too long if you know what I mean.
