Well the event at Silver Lake turned out better on a couple of issues than Phil & I expected. The main issue was the weather, which despite the predictions of rain, turned out to be not too bad at all.
It was nice to fish with an old ABA "T" partner and Phil summed it
all up in his report.
While we didn't get rich on our winnings, we did cover our expenses with our 8+ pounds, so that made it nice on a day of difficult fishing.
The complete results will be posted on the Mt. St. Helen's Club website sometime on Monday. You can see how the other club folks who fished it did at that time, as we didn't see anyone from the club at the awards ceremony. Thats too bad, because there were quite a few nice raffle prizes which surprised me!
Phil managed to win a decent tackle pack while I blanked. Oh well.
What made the "T" difficult was the fish we both located on separate trips pre-fishing the week before, were nowhere to be found! The fact that the surface water temp dropped 9* might have had something to do with it. I doubt that anyone who fished this "T" will have very much of an advantage when the club rolls in for our 1st "T" in a couple of weeks.
