I’m not even sure what I enjoyed more - fishing itself with such a pro, getting some decent and small fish, missing some decent and small fish, interesting conversations or learning from him. I think today I got my most important experience in rigging for all the time since I started to do this in 2018. Yes, we got 11 hits (if I remember it correctly), missed one decent rainbow, released one decent salmon, and kept 4 chinooks as well - one 14 lb and three shakers. It was a great day and I hope I’ll be doing better now… (Just to compare: for my three outings to LO this year I got a few popups and no single fish.) Thanks again, Dave!

Mark has never used a Mooching reel so he had a crash course and lost a few on it. I also managed to knock off a bow about three lbs with a net malfunction. Mark landed a nice 8/9lb Steelhead. The big fish was a 14lb short fat King. The biggest King was again on the Mooching rod so Mark wouldn’t touch it which left it up to me.

Yes there are harder days but I would say our landing average was low and double digit hits is pretty average.

He said he was hoping that we didn’t catch anything that day. When I asked him why he didn’t want to catch anything he responded and said, if we didn’t catch anything today, I would know that I wasn’t doing anything wrong by myself because I normally don’t catch anything. Since we did quite a few fish, he then had to realize he had a lot to learn. 😂😂
