Pequest 1/17/14 lights out fishing

[Jigman13]

Hit the pequest tca today solo. It was a day to remember, that's for damn certain. I pulled into the lot around 9am to decent snowfall and it was almost full of cars. Worked my way upstream and fished around the outflow of the hatchery, above it, and a little below it. I dunno if the hatchery purged a surplus of rainbows or what, but there was shoals of fish in every hole. Everyone was catching everywhere I looked. Fish we're rolling on the surface and splashing all over the place. I hooked and landed a gross number of bows. I stopped counting at 15. Got fish on jigs, bead head woolly buggers, grub tails & small shads on jig heads. Fish ranged from 7"-18". The larger ones were spewing jazz and eggs all over when landed. The smaller fish we're slurping up the goods as they hit the water. It was pretty f'n epic fishing. I left at 2-230 with frozen hands and a sh*t eatin' grin on my face. I did, however, lose a screamer. Second time this year a solid fish came unbuttoned on me. After landing all those fish, I can't get my mind off the one that got away!!!

I took zero pics this time. Solo, waist deep...not worth risking my phone, esp with frozen hands.

And so it goes...catch 'em up!
