I made it up to Challis sat. and tried my luck. I learned the mosquitoes are thick, the sun is hot, and fishing is called fishing for a reason. I met ChromeJunky at Deer Gulch sat morning. Fished there for a while and only had one hit. Went up to Ellis hole later on and tried there. No luck, but the guys under the bridge did. Seen a few nice ones caught there, but you had to have "The Spot" in order to catch them.
Sunday we headed up river to Deadman Hole. I did manage to hook 2, but they spit the hook in about 10 secs. At least I got to feel what is was like to have a salmon on the other end even tho it was only for a short few secs. The rest of the day I spent tying hooks, losing sinkers, sun burning, trying to stay dry, and making egg sacks.
Sounds like the season will be open for 1 more week at the least. The hatcheries have their quota all ready and there are still a lot of fish to come up stream.
Here are a few scenery pics since the fish eluded me.
