Last weekend my two best
friends, both with their first children on the way, and I fly fished Sekiu.
Enjoyed all the stories about growing up together and now talking about starting
families of their own. Time is a luxury for these two so getting away
really was a treat. We started about 7:00A.M. which turned out to be too
late for bucktails on the surface.We tried for a couple of hours with no
success. We did drag one of Leland's poppers around all day tried a couple of
different presentations but I think I need more practice with this one. So we
tried full sinking lines with a bait fish pattern which got some action. A
few SRC's, and a hard pulling 11
pound Native King.When I hooked the king we were in about
twenty five feet of water, what a suprise. The highlight of the trip, after
several photos a quick release. The weather was perfect with water so calm
it felt like we were fishing in a lake.
Speaking of lakes, after taking my friends home I continued east
to Lenice and was not disappointed for the extra miles. Although the fishing was
much slower than last weekend the hatch came on about 11:00 A.M. at which time I
landed several fish from 14" to 24" on the big blue Damsel. These fish are
incredible fighters compared to fish of comparable size caught in west side
lakes like Cady.
