It was a cold day October 7th, 2007.  At 6:30 am and it was a nice cold 19 outside! 

We bundled up and hit up the river shore to hear we had just missed a 17 1/2 inch brown.  No Problem we thought... but today the story was the lack of bite and hook ups.

 

The culprit?  Dropping river flows... just goes to show you that on the East Walker, the person controlling the water flow also controls how the river will fish that day.   We all made the best of the flow and the challenge that day. 

We got some video and snap shots of the mornings hook ups and we got on still shot the catch of the day.  We just missed getting that hook up on video.   Enjoy the video and interview with Skip and Matuka Joe.
