Streamers....it's What's for Lunch

With these warmer temp's the fish are certainly becoming more active and starting to go out of their way to wack some meat cruising by. i caught a couple of fish shortly after i got to the water, one of which was real nice. i got to a point where i noticed a truck parked on the side of the road which had me nervous that maybe someone had dropped in above me. as i fished my way up i hit some killer looking water that i knew should produce some fish but i didn't get a single hit or a chase. i was starting to get the feeling that i was right behind someone since all this good water was void of fish. sure as shit, after awhile i caught up to someone so i headed back down to my starting point and decided i would just fish my way down stream instead. i love it when the water levels are up a bit cause the fish spread out and seem to be everywhere. i was constantly moving fish all the way down to a point where i decided that my back had had enough. i back tracked and fished a few selects spots on the way back up. i hit a number of fish and ended up catching one more. one of the frustrations with streamer fishing is when you are stripping and a fish hits you so hard that it pulls the line from your fingers and you don't get a hook set on it. i lost a few fish this way today. my back was hurting all day but it was well worth the pain.
