There are many who would argue that early spring is the best time to find large fish. I am one who considers the fall my favorite time to pursue the larger fish. Well, I may be leaning a little more in the direction of spring after an outing I had this past weekend. I had a few hours early in the morning and went to a favorite spot of mine. I was there by sun up and started to fish some streamers in order to "search and destroy." Well within the first 15 minutes I was having no luck at all and decided to change it up as I usually do when things aren't going quite right. I switched over to my feedinators and a few other droppers and immediately started to hook up. The fish were hitting hard and I was having a great time. Overall two and a half hours of fishing and over a dozen fish landed... Mostly nice salmon and bows. The moral of the story, when things aren't working, change. As my good friend Tom always says, " If it's not working, change. It doesn't matter what you change. Change tippet, change flies, change spots, change your underwear if you have to! Do whatever it takes, change." As always, enjoy a few pics!
