I've never fished Tilton before and had heard bad things. I understand what people were talking about, but I wouldn't let it deter me from fishing there again.

I arrived at first light and had a fish on my second cast. It proceded to break my line. After a couple hours of getting snagged up I finally land a nice silver. A few more fish lost, and I hook into the big king. He was a fun one on a med/light rod with 10lb test and no net. I know he's a bit dark, but I wanted one for the smoker and I got it. A little while later and a few more fish lost I hook into and land another silver. ALL FISH WERE HOOKED IN THE MOUTH!

I left the river at 1500 and thought it was a pretty decent day for a place I had never fished before.
