So much for “Best Laid Plans” for today, so I made the best of it by going fishing for the 1^st. time in quite a while.  Straight out the river and dropped in at 60fow.  DR down 50’ w/ free slider, 250x30 CU and 200x45 CU, all with spoons.  Crossed 70fow and the DR blows, nice little 15# King on Orange/Green free slider.  Reached 90fow and turned around.  At 85fow the 250 CU runs, netted nice little 8# King on a Mixed Veggie.  Turned back out at 60 and banged a 17# Greaser at 75fow on the DR w/ a Green Dolphin down 50’.  Turned again at 120 for home and hit a much smaller Greaser on the 200 CU w/ a Purple Smurf at 70fow.  Hated to pulled lines and head in.  E/W troll at 2.5 sog cross current.  The fishfinder screen was pretty quiet, just a few bottom huggers and nothing mid column.  All 4 fish were packed full of Ales.  Sorry Greek, didn’t think to call ya at 0500hrs.  Mr. Easy, nice meeting ya, better luck next time.

Lol, good luck. Post a good report like u always do so we have a place to start Monday am. 

After the owners (my oldest son & wife) and my granddogs leave tomorrow morning to return to Colorado, we have to finish cleanup of their house on 312 Clinton to get ready for first renters of the season on 19th.

It's rented most of the summer so won't be able to spend many days here this summer.
