Long time friend-co-worker-and Northwest Fishing Report member Elderhappy ( Gary ) called me and said he needed a day off and was going fishing, so naturally I had to go along and keep him company. We started off from Porcupine Bay at daylight and once again we were on the fish quickly. Gary was using leaded line out 3 colors and his home made multi colored flies he always uses with mostly great results along with a dodger. I was using mono out 160 ft. with mostly a pink modified muddler style fly, and a sling blade in pink. Speed was around 1.7 mph. The sun was warm with some wind off and on, and the fog getting there was pretty thick. Great day for fishing for sure, Thanks Gary for asking me to go along. The next time out is in my boat. Oh forgot to mention the fish, I think 6 of them were 17" and 4 were 14", the 17"inch ones being so fat and thick you could hardly get your hand around them to get the hook out, beautiful fish. Also the fish would not stay hooked very long, we lost probably twice what we caught.
