Never get out of the boat...

Ok, my quote from Apocalypse Now is sort of off the mark here, but it is meant to say, don't change anything... EVER! We decided instead of our regular spot on the close side of the dam at Vallecito, we'd head across to a place where we hooked a lot of Kokes last spring. It was slow. Really slow. We brought a friend with us, so of course we gave him the "shoulda been here yesterday" speech. Lisa pulled out a 16" Rainbow and I caught a smaller stocker that I liberated. First time I ever had a DOW officer come down to the ice to check our licenses, so make sure you keep your license on ya. Hopefully with this weather rolling in we'll see the activity below the ice pick up.
