I caught this nice 15 inch 'bow before getting the camera set up. I actually goofed up and missed a 20 inch fish by pulling the lure away. Oh well.

This hole is wide, and smooth. It shallows out after coming over a natural 'dam' into a deep pool. I usually scout the hole from above. Very easy to be seen that high though.

I regret you do not have a close up as the colors on this fish are incredible. The print does show the bright red stripe.

Another shot. The black dot on my chest is the remote control for the camera. I had a long release of a brown trying to get it around for a shot.

Is this beautiful or what? Catching fish or not the scenic surroundings always make it a worthwhile trip. The sound of the water, the rhodedendron, pines and rugged banks. Soothing.

This hole is fed by a fast narrow shoot and opens to a wide deep hole. The rocks extend at the back to produce a second hole which may also hold fish.
