Carbondale, July 27th; Maverick and Tricky

The summer of wet continues....
Apparently they had flash flood type TStorms on Sunday in the basin. I didn't know till this mornings paper, but the river was about 3ft higher than normal so we thought something was up. Still fairly clear, about the same as Livingstone was.
Sunny to start, but we could see we were driving into a shit storm. Rain held off, but got real cold without sun around 6pm.

Fishin was surprisingly ok. 8 to hand for me, 8 to hand for Tricky. But no size at all. I lost a good one and snapped off on a beast I could see rising in the last pool of the night. Tricky had what we believe a Bull on for about 30 seconds, but he yanked it free.....damn fish mechanics and their technics....Whatever it was it was a log, Tricky called it a 'lunker'....I laughed......Saw a couple bigger ones but missed them....Mostly on Turks yellow, foam did nothing, Lime Stimmy was okay too, nothing for the caddis, humpy or adams....

Biggest fish was a 12 inch Whitefish by Tricky......three prong hook in the sucker.

All in all, not bad for 5 hours fishin, but didn't seem that good due to size, and weather was always looming and cold.

Saw a big ass bear on way home near Beaver Mines turn off.
