Thread a Crawler.... Catch a Fish!

The opening day for stealhead fishing in the Upper American River is today!  I have the pleasure of fishing with PRO and the American.  We drifted from Sunrise to Rossmoor Bar.  We started at 10 AM and shared the river with many other fishermen.  There were lots of boats on the water, including many well known Fishing Guides with their clients.  The excitement of opening day is electrifying, and I am blessed to be a part of it!

Actually, it was not that easy!!!  It was a rough day of fishing.  We fished from 10 AM to 3 PM.  We witnessed only one guy landing a fish.  When we caught up with him, he told us he landed a sucker fish 😲

Near the end of the day, we boated and released a wild stealhead!

First day of the year; first fish of the year!

We were extremely blessed!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

May God bless your day,
