Nice fish in the creek today!

Again and again, Eagle creek seems to step up to the plate, and provide fish. I was very discouraged this morning. We saw absolutely no fish for the first hour of the day. Then finally I was able to get into 2 fish, and land one.P2227290 Another half an hour later, I hooked and landed another nice little buck. During this time, Damon and Richard were down below me landing fish of their own. After releasing my buck, I turned the corner just in time to get a pic of Richard’s buck. Damon had just released one, and there were at least 3 fish left for me to play with. I did get a nice little buck from this hole. All three of us, hooked and landed fish in this spot today. After chasing the remaining 2 fish around for about 45 minutes, we gave up on them and headed back up, to give it another shot. Damon and Richard walked up the creek, while I went up and around. Richard hooked up twice along the way, with some nice chrome fish. While up river, I was able to TWINS 1YR 055hook and land 2 perfect little chrome egg wagons. After catching up to me, Richard, Damon and I started our trek out, when I spotted a nice little buck in a hole. Damon stepped up to the plate, and put the hurting on this fish. As Richard and I watched Damon casting, we were able to see this fish turn and strike the fly with pure aggression. This was good stuff to see. I was also able to get some great underwater video of this fish. 

So for the day, Damon was 2 for 3, Richard went 1 for 2, and I got lucky, going 5 for 6.

I am out of here for a couple days, and will be back on Thursday for some more action :) :)

Enjoy the pics and the vids from today.

Looks like a fun day as always. I can't think of a place I would rather be in Oregon this time of year.
