Made it up really early and hit Chicken Creek East. Wasn't the first to get there as a group was camping on the far end. I set up my toon and waiting for the sun and I could barely see fish surfacing around 5-5:15. I went out about 5:30 and headed out and caught the first trout at 5:50 on a purple fly and sinking line just kicking kind of southeast. The second pic was a good one. I had my spin rod in the holder trolling a olive bugger and that guy hit. I pretty much just spazzed out so I didn't measure or do anything right because I was so excited and trying not to drop my camera in the water I only got the one pic. That was probably 25 min after the first. I guess the catch and release was done right. He took off quick. Cruised around for some time trying a few other flies and put on a dodger and pink squid on while I came back in with the minnkota on before meeting a friend with a boat over at SC marina. That caught a small bow right in the middle of the bay. I was off the water about 9:30 only catching the 3. There were way more people on the water and most fishing from shore by that time.

Over at SC went out on the boat and trolled for kokes in the bay with downriggers and other lines on top and my buddy that keeps a boat there could believe it was so slow. I actually caught another bow in the way in. Pretty good day an left at 1pm when the wind picked up.
