I've had amazing fishing the past 4 days, and I can't imagine it's been anything much less in the bay or for the QIN, because I've been catching brand new fish every day. Whether it's been cutthroat or coho I've been after, I've caught both, to super high quality, all on a 6-wt. fly rod. The coho I caught today beat the crud out of my hands when they ran (repeatedly); my poor old Tioga 6 doesn't really have much of what you'd call a drag these days, so palming has often been necessary...

Anyway, I'm much more pleased with this year's season compared to last, and I hope everyone else is enjoying good fishing.
