Hi Pete,

I didn’t see a number on the tag. I know the pool you are talking about, that’s not were I caught this bass. He/she was about ¾-1 mile down stream.
I will try to describe the hole. As you walk past red rock pool the trail crosses the creek and goes up the right side of the canyon, after a while there is what I call the first pool long wide and shallow. There is a new trail on the right that goes over the last part of the ridge and back to the creek. The first hole after you get back to the creek is where I caught the fish. (I call it second hole) its befor you cross the creek again.
It happened late afternoon on ether a popper or a small Rebel Crawdad. I cut off the front treble hook and bend down the barbs on the trailing one. When I let him go he was in good shape. I am so amazed that these fish survive the winter storms. They must get moved around a lot…
If we ever meet up let me tell you about getting the crap scared out of us by the Beavers on night while fishing that creek… Yep I am scared of wild Beaver…J

Also I think I met you Fathers day Sunday at the Launch ramp I was walking my Dog (Chocolate lab) and you were going back to the car with your float tube. I asked how the fishing was you said great… I should have stopped you and asked a few more questions I keep thinking about getting out and fishing the harbor, off a friends Kayak she keeps over on Marina one.

PS: I wraped the trout rod I use, the blank is a piece of junk I bought at the Feed hall for two bucks. but it sure is cool fishing with somthing you made yourself..
