OTHER: Fished with Wayne. We both had a very tough day, I missed a fish in the chute along the island below McClellan’s on the swing, and didn’t get another bite for over an hour, wading all the way to Otter
Creek, and starting back down when I finally caught a couple above the walnut tree. I managed another fish in Ace in the Hole, couple more “dinks” in the plunge pool, and hit pay dirt at the riffle above the island where I caught over a half dozen fish. Wayne didn’t fare any better, not getting a strike all the way to above Otter Creek before he finally caught fish, and improved his catch quantity on the way back down with near a dozen fish. I had a nice 15-16 inch rainbow, and a beautiful 15 inch cutthroat. Neither of us had a trophy fish today.
