Caught a nice 11lb hen on the big deep hole just below the dam. Was drifting pink corkys and yarn from the hatchery up and never had a hit. Saw fish in the river. Switched to float with eggs and was trying the deep hole. Saw fish jumping all over and saw some swimming in shallow water just down river. Never hit anything. Switched to a jig under a float and second cast had a take down. Fought her for a couple mins and as soon as I started gaining ground realized she was tangled in some extra line and the other end of it was in the downed tree across the river. After a couple mins she finally came loose and I was able to reel her in. Biggest fish I have caught all season! What an amazing day on the river too.
