River was dropping nicely so I headed to Reiter and got there around 8 AM. Around 12 rigs in the parking lot and around 20 fishermen which grew a little bit as the morning wore on. Saw several fish caught in the lower part of the drift but nothing much was happening above or below the intake. I started with a float/jig combo which yielded no results for me or anyone nearby. Some of the fish down below were caught on jigs but as the morning wore on I noticed more were being taken on drift gear. I switched to my drift rod/reel and started working the drift in front of me. After about an hour I hit a 5 pound buck that did some aerials before he was netted by a nearby helpful fisherman. I needed to get some stuff done so I quit on that happy note. I got to see the legend known as Joechiro walking out with a nice pair of metalheads early in the morning.....that dude can fish. Broke in a new rod, reel and fishing vest so the skunk scent is gone for the new gear. That is important. ;-) Tight lines to all.
