Rainy Day

Took a quick trip to Roaring River Saturday afternoon for a quick fix.It started raining as soon as i left the house.The rain continued the whole drive.When i finally arrived the rain had quit and turned into a light mist.Got all rigged up and started fishing the first good looking hole.Made a few cast and here came the rain.Walked to the truck put on my waders and wading jacket and back to fishing.Ten minutes into my fishing trip i hooked an eager female rainbow.As i set the hook i saw her roll over and flash.The flash looked big and the fight was on.After about ten minutes i had the fish in my net.It was a beautiful female rainbow with all her fins.
Walked down the river and saw another good size fish.So i cast in front of the fish and let my egg float down with the current.It was a perfect drift, the trout swam forward and bam she sucked in the egg.I set the hook and nothing.The fish just set there and my egg floated past her.So i changed colors and cast again.It was another perfect drift.The fish ate the second egg, but this time i set the hook and the fish was hooked.The fish was very angry and powerful.A few minutes into the fight she swam over the small waterfall dividing the two holes.Finally after a long fight and missed attempts with the net i had the fish landed.After landing two bigger fish and a few smaller ones i walked down stream to the catch and release area.Caught a few small fish then spotted a big shadow in a deep hole.Made a few cast, watched my cream delight egg and magic the egg disappeared.I set the hook and the fish was hooked.After a long fight up and down the river i had the fish in my net.It was a beautiful male rainbow.
