Comments: The fish really turned on at 9:30am. Had about a doz. hits, but only caught 5 of them. Every time I poored a cup of coffee, I would get a hit and miss it. I guess to catch more fish I'll have to drink less coffee. Four of the fish were beautyful, fat Kamloops and one 17 1/4" rainbow. Not a bad day for December. All Kamloops where released. Walt
