Up Otter Creek without a Paddle (Pics +++)

Postby threshershark » Mar 08, '09, 11:10

Open water at the OC lured us down to endure cold temperatures along with most of the UWN. We were surprised to find the most respected member of the forum advertising a back-door establishment in nearby Antimony. We chose instead to fish.

High winds aided in the deicing effort, ramming a bunch of sheet up against the rocky shorelines.

The storm's departure gave way to some amazing skies.

More time was spent at the Butch Cassidy's Hideout engaging in a various forms of gluttony, however we have already displayed many of these in the past. The brownie sunday was among the highlights this time around at this fine establishment.

Image

Drastic changes in the temperatures had sent the fish into deeper water, largely out of the way of our lint-based offerings. We fished for about 10 hours and the three of us wound up with 45 rainbows.

When all was said and done, we enjoyed being out for our second softwater trip of the year. I'll conclude the report with a shot of JayMorr flexing his 5-weight on a nice buck rainbow.

Sweet report. I'm glad that the water treated you right after braving the storm. Sunday was all sunshine, but pretty breezy.

Thanks y'all. Matador usually does throw down the biggest hog of the trip, he has a little somethin' somethin' that the bubbas like.

If Dr. Phil fished, he'd say:
