All right...let's hear 'em.

I'll go first...

Saturday morning. Got in line at 5:45, in the gate at six. Watched the first twenty or so run like hell for the river, I walked in behind them.

They all lined up on every rock around the creek, but I like the spot up about 50 feet or so, bigger rock out in the river. No one was up that way at all yet, so I was happy.

Walked around for a couple of hours, chatted with a few folks, tied a few leaders, smoked a few smokes.

At the 8 am whistle, 150 or so lines from both sides of the river gracefully launched...then all hell broke loose. Lots of fish being hooked on first casts...me included...though not a lot landed, mine included.

Hooked another on my second cast, amid others getting hooked up...crackered again.

Third cast is the charm, fish on and landed.

Bonk, tag, re-tie, re-bait, back up on the rock.

Now it's about 8:30, I've taken three casts, hooked up three times, landed one. Ten more minutes and six more casts...one solid hit missed...then fish on on the sixth. Landed.

Done at 8:40, nine casts, five hits, four hookups, two landed. Back at home for breakfast by 9:45.

Let's hear how the rest of you did, especially those who went today. Any left for the rest of the week?

Fish on...

Todd.

call me the king cracker if you will. i hooked the first 3 fish of the day and lost all three. my buddy hit 4/4 right next to me tho. all on my jigs (yet to be named). finaly i got one on and in to shore b4 it was karate chopped by a net. once the otherside opened it was slow for them too. there was only about 20 fish taken as of 10:30 both sides of river. FISHON

Todd-
Like yourself, I had my two fish to the bank before 10 but instead of going home and having a nice breakfast, I had to go to work. Oh well...there is no other spectacle in steelhead fishing like opening day at Reiter in the summer and there is nothing you can do to keep me away!!

I knew you had a good work ethic Sparkey.
