Fished Chico creek yet again today (Mon).  Started at 7 and had the whole place to myself.  When fish started to show (about 8) one other flyfisher was there.  He and I tried for about an hout to no avail.  During this time about 10 more fishers showed up.  About 930 the chums started to show up thick.  Unfortunately I snagged my first fish in the tail.  He was about 12 pounds and took me about 10 minutes to land.  He took me all the way to the backing, boy was I glad there were very few people there as no one had to get out of my way.   I fished to about noon and caught 2 more fish all big.  When I left there was only about 40 fishers and just starting to get crazy.  I had to snap 1 fish off due to a fellow fisher not wanting to stop fishing while I played my fish.  Next time I think I'll let him get tangled and take a swim, maybe he will learn some decency.   I saw about 500 fish go up the creek Flig
