Tippy Dam Report for Oct 15

[davetclown]

sorry, I did not finish yesterday, I kinda got cut off.

one tiny little grape vine twig. man was that a sinking fealing... the whole time you could hear my line singing with the tention between the rod and the king.

It would seem neither one of us was going to give up so it was decided for us... [:p] All I can say is next time I am going to take a different reel. and deffenantly going to stock up on line before I go.

I ended up with some major line twist. a good couple hundred feet of line twist.. I went in to pick up some new line at Andy's only to find he had not restocked in the last couple hours.

so we went in search of a bite to eat, found our selves in dublin at granny's place for some hot bean soup burger and frys. hit the spot cause the rain had set in and we were getting wet.

we stopped along a number of places up and down the river that morning, saw several upside down floaters headed down stream. was to see, but it is a common thing with salmon.

on our way back we stopped at another place near welston and looked around, I picked up a flash light and batteries, I planned on taping it to the net so my netter could see the fish better..[:p] it was after all a long way down and dark to boot.

when I taped it I found the place to mount it was in the way of the button to slide the net handle up and down, I will have to drill a new hole on the reverse side and turn the handle around in the net head mount. this way I wont have to mount and un mount the light every time I put the net away. "Pic's to follow when done"

I also picked up my new calender for next year, Girls in camo, was a rough choice between girls gone fishing.. [angelic] but I had to choose one...[:p]

any way this shop was restocking when I went in, and did not have the line I wanted either, or at least was not done unpacking it... but we didnt have time to wait around. there was much water going over the dam and a few hundered fish stacked up on top of each other right in front of our spot. so grabbing a few more what nots including a bumber sticker that can be found in the window of the photo below and headed back to our spot.
