New spot for me.

Hit up a new spot today that I have lived near but never made it to. Well I made it there this morning, and it paid off in a big way. The rivers are low and clear due to a lack of rain, and thus there is no pressure on the rivers at this time. We had miles of beautiful rive to ourselves today, and it was great. At one point I had 5 fresh winters pull up right in front of me in nice little white water riffle. I was so stunned I could not get a correct presentation, and the fish promptly left the area. At the end of the day, we had hooked up with 16 fish between 3 of us. I lost all 9 fish I got into, Tom landed 2, lost 1, and Ian hit into 4 and lost em’ all. He did land one old silver, and I talked one old summer to the bank. Here are the pics.

That's awesome discovering steel in a new spot, especially close to the house!  Can't believe a spot that sounds that productive eluded you for so long.
