Spring Creek 12/1

Took off work to fish. 
I took a friend kayaking who knows very little about fishing. Altruistic efforts and fishing don’t always mix but this time it worked out. He caught a limit of trout & had a great time. I caught a beautiful 26 that dwarfed the other fish on the stringer. 52 & 38 series MirroLures were the ticket with many strikes occurring when the lure was suspended. The fish were real finicky. They were either biting or not at something like 1/2 hour intervals. I’m sure the big AM tide had a lot to do with it. The trip went really well but I still don’t know if I’ve figured out how to fish a MirroLure. It seems like a moving target as to the best way to fish them. Sometimes this works & sometimes it’s something else. They require (allow) you to impart the action & you have to really concentrate on technique. Braided line helps a lot. Of course, then nothing works.
I have photos on a disposable that I have to get developed.
