Tony and I met this morning at Skeeter's and did a float on the Watermaster float tubes down into Pulaski. The best way to describe the weather this morning would be brutal. It wasn't super cold, but the wind combined with the snow made things quite uncomfortable. We landed one small, but beautifully colored, brown trout and one small steelhead and missed a few more fish in the first half of the day.
We decided to pull the boats out around lunch time, get a coffee and take a bit of a warm up break. This was certainly the right decision. We started the afternoon with warm feet, dry gloves and a refreshed outlook. After the break, we headed into Pulaski. Right away, I hooked and lost one real nice fish. I did land two nice steelhead this afternoon and loast a few more. In total, we went 4 for 10 on the day. The memory of the lost fish always seems to stick with me longer than I would like. We'll get 'em next time, I guess.
Cold, snow, wind, frozen guides, wet gear, cold toes…..another great day on the SR! Here are a couple photos from today. Until next time.
