Fishing equipment belonging to 1 of 3 anglers who stayed at the Creel Lodge the week starting 30 April may have been dropped near the road outside ;my house that week.
One of the anglers was Ming, a plumber from the North Shore, and 1 of his mates was Chase.
If anyone knows these anglers, please contact me.
I wetlined a Green Rabbit briefly this morning downstream of the Highway One Bridge, and missed the same fish 3 times in the tail of the pool.
One or more of her teeth may have been damaged, and she rolled on the surface later, possibly because her mouth was sore.
A local fishing guide had already fished through the water once, for no bites, and he fished ahead of me, again for no bites, on an Orange Rabbit.
Thursday morning, I fished the water downstream from the Jones Pool, for no bites, and I can remember only 2 bites in my life(both this year) from that water.
Anglers fishing the north side of the river had no observed bites, and catching could be tougher in the kilometers of water where riverside tree cover was removed.
