SH Day 3 / 4

Back up to the canyon after making a call the night before. I was told that I could shoot the three other dogs just don't shoot the hound.

Well i did't have to shoot the dawgs but I was prepared to do so and I packed my 38 with me, just in case they came around either getting to or from the water. Dark thirty again suited up and loaded for dogs. Rod ready from parking to fishing less than 15 minutes. I worked over 300 yards of good water for over three hours changing flies. the sun came up over the hill side. saw a couple of fish boil as I was tearing down my rod. But it was still time to go eat, twist some flies, shower and do some chores.
Two o'clock I went on a scouting trip down river a ways to check out some old waters that I never got to fish last year, with the river so hi.
The hi waters of last year really did change the slot, there is lots of Chinook in now spawning. so until the river comes up I'll just leave this spot alone for now.
 My neighbor Bill flagged me down as I was pulling in and asked if I could take him up to a private spot for him to fish for a while.  ( Bill doesn't fly fish tho I have tried to teach him many times, I did teach him a few years back to use corkies.)
     I did take him up, He keep casting over my line, so I switched places with him so that he was above me, and on his third drift thru bang fish on for him. I pulled in my stuff and helped him get it to shore getting my feet wet, slipping on the wet rocks to my knees. But we got it in small little buck shy of 5lbs. But his first SH in over two years.

It's overcast a bit warm at 55 and the water temp is 54. Doctor Dave hooked a wild buck last night.

Now its day 4
       I met up with Gary and Scott up river above Tonasket the water looks good.
With Scott being fresh and hadn't hooked a metalhead yet we gave him the best water. His casting has. improved 100% with the little lessons I had given him.and him getting in lots of practice.
 We pounded the water till 10 with nothing not even a bump. It's a bit early I think for many fish up this hi in the river.

          I need to twist up some more DDPs to skate along with some Curbfeeler  for the Met

                The three of us Dave Gary and I are headed back to the Met tomorrow.
