I had the pleasure of getting out with a fellow KBF'er on Sat. morning. I had never met Anglerxxx but had chatted on the phone a couple of times. Scott is from Ca. and has been hitting the New hard this past year. He surely seems to have the hang of it though.
We put in at Pembroke around 9 Am. He has floated this section to Bluff Ctiy many times so he was the guide. He had asked me several times if I was OK with some whitewater. No problem I assured him.
It was a great float. He and his girlfriend had already dropped a vechicle at the take out. How convienent! I guess we were on the river about 10 hours. We caught numerous dinks but nothing bigger than say 14". Could not find the bigger ones. The fish were difinately hanging in the fast water and just below it. We tried deep also. Nothing but dinks.
Scott hooked one fat 14" but had released it just before I got there to take a pic. I guess my most memerable moments were when I hooked up and was comng onto some big whitewater. Didn't want to loose the fish so I quickly tossed the anchor out. Big mistake as the anchor was mid yak. When it grabbed it stopped me dead and over I went! The yak stayed upright and I lost nothing but my hat which was shot anyway. It was refreshing and pretty funny afterwards. The second was what Scott called Hidden Falls. Aptly named because you can't see it til it's too late to adjust. I guess about a 3' drop. It was a blast.
All in all it was a great day and good to get out with a fellow KBRer! Scott, I had a great time and look forward to other floats with you.
