Fishing/Hunting Combo on the Weber - 11/1

[leaky]

Anyways, went to the Web. below Echo to do a combo with Sparky. Got there about 1 pm. First off, there seems to be just enough water flow to keep things healthy. Don't know where it's coming from but a trickle seems to be enough. Pulled a sneak on some Mallards and jumped em and got 2 out of three. [] Went back to the truck and stashed my duckies and got my pole out and went back. Found a wonderfull hole. Right away hooked into something big. Fought it for a while and it finally broke off taking both flys. Dang. [unsure] Went back to the truck and put on some 7# tippet and 6# trailers for my two flys. Went back and hooked into some more nice uns, rainbows and browns ranging from 16 - 18 1/2 in. Caught em all on a prince and a dark flash back nymph thingy. Kept 1 ranbow that was very unusual. It measured 17 1/2 in but the girth was as big as I've ever seen. I measured it at 13 1/2 in. hock: What do ya think? I weghed it at 3 3/4 # witch is about as heavy a fish at 17 1/2 in. can get, right? [shocked] Only caught 1 whitie. The Sparkinator had a ball retrieving duckies and chasing fish. [sly][sly][sly]
P.S. To add to the hunting part, got 2 spoonies and 2 teal out at the Great Salt lake day befor yesterday. [] Things are gooooooood!

Sounds like a great trip Fred. I'm glad you could keep the Sparkinator in the birds!

Nice report Fred, sure hard to beat a cast and blast outing. Did you happen to get a picture of that big bow?

Sounds like my kind of trip. And ducks of the river taste so much better than the ones in the swamp. Gratz man.

That is one fat fish, I bet it gave you a good fight, did it do any jumping?

Yep, he/she did jump a bit and took a lot of line down river. Actually, after the initial run and jumping it just bull dogged it up and down the river. Some of the skinnyer guys out fought he/she. Too fat I guess. [sly]
