This morning on the Snoqualmie, I was lowholed by a man casting a spinner.
I figured that it didn't matter as I had already fished through the run
three times with three different flies and I was fixing to leave anyway,but
it still kinda bothered me. A few moments later, I got sweet revenge as a
hot 7-8 lb. hen simply blasted my #10 Blue Charm. She struck about five
feet above the spot my new fishing partner was standing on and immediately
launched into a series of downstream cartwheels. I heard his expletives as
he must have first thought that someone was tossing rocks into the river.
When he saw my rod bending and heard my reel screaming, he began to cast
all the more feverishly. The fun was when I slid her onto the rocks, held
her by the wrist as I removed the hook, picked her up, turned quickly and
slid her back into the water. I nonchalantly stood, gathered up my rod, and
walked back to my car - without looking back - like it happens all the
time.
Leland.
