Racehorse- Aug 2nd

Got the greenlight from the Fam-Damily to hit racehorse Sat night. A couple waterwhackers had already kicked the crap out of the creek from the bridge up, so I skipped down to the edge of the campground and ventured downstream from there. Started with a foam Fat Albert and nailed a 12+ cutty in the first pool, a couple more risers- but no salami, before moving on and switching to a green Stimmy with legs- immediately saw action to the tune of 4 more trouties in the 8-11 inch range, before hitting the first hole on the way back to the camp. A riser urged me to switch to a white PMD. nabbed him on the second cast and mailed in the evening.

Notes- Family loved the Racehorse campground. Spent Sat with a picnic at waterfalls and let the kids (and wife) nail some little guys on the upper Oldman. Hit only that first hole and the kids pulled out six in a little over a half hour on the Deigo and Barbie fishing clubs. Good times. Rained all Sat night and headed for home Sun Morning.

PS- Saw a guy grab a trophy 20+ (Bull?) out of the gap area at about 3pm on a 24C day. I'm thinking I need to try that stretch after all.
