Going to Salmon in the morning 3/22

[Belasko]

Made it up to Salmon and got a late start. Arrived, checked into our hotel then headed out to launch the boat. after running the shuttle car to the take out and all it was noon by the time we were on the water. Put in at Carmen and floated to RedRock. My buddy landed a native just down from Carmen about 1/2 to 1 mile. I landed a sucker from the same hole then nothing after that. Fought the wind and snow rest the day. The next day we were supposed to be joined by another friend so decided to fish at the lemhi hole until he arrived. I was feeling mighty dejected and was contemplating an early day since I had to head home that afternoon anyway. About the time I was thinking that was a good idea my rod is practically ripped from my hands! Fought the fish back and then had a perfect release on another native. About 30 minutes later I did a repeat from the same spot! We then found out our buddy couldn't make it so we took off to float from Shoup bridge south of town to Carmin. We saw fish under the boat, couldn't get a single hit, then we got to town and saw several people had landed or were hooked up w/ fish between the bridge in town and the lemhi hole. Again I told my buddy I was right and we should have just freaking stayed there all day. We didn't see another fish on after that. I then had to leave as soon as we got the boat out. I got a text pic once I got in cell range again near Mud Lake. My buddy had landed a hatchery fish, guess where.... Lemhi Hole. One of these days he's going to listen to me. I know it!
