On The 5th Day, It Was Summer
Posted By Heather on June 13, 2010
On the fifth day of the adventure, summer arrived. Gave Dave R a call for advice on floating the Rogue and he talked Roger through the Shady Cove to Tekelma float on the phone. Then he met us at the ramp and gave told a joke to make me blush, gave me a kiss on the cheek and we gave him a toast of brandy for the fishing gods, and away we went.
AND WE CAUGHT FISH!!!
I can’t believe I actually remembered the spots Dave had taken me last fall, and we just stumbled through fishing salmon fly dry with copper john dropper and stumbled into fish. And it twas good. So good that after meeting Dave for a drink, we asked him about a longer float, got the skinny, and ….
We did it again the next day- Shady Cove to Dodge Bridge. More fish, lots of time in the sun, and I’m starting to get the hang of fishing again, after much too long away. Got to the take out and Dave was sitting there waiting, and reported that I’d been seen hooking up on the river. How crazy is that? Urban fishing and before we even get to the take out, the report is out..
They didn’t know about the double though. It’s been years since I had a double hookup. Quite refreshing.
