3/30 Fishing Report

Jack and son Brian were my guests today aboard the dot-com boat. It was raining heavy form the time we met at 5 AM. until present 5 PM.
LOTS of run-off with the DSR starting to turn cloudy and off color by noon.

Jack had 2 fish on within the first 20 minutes. 4 more hook-ups were to follow until I put Brian in Jacks spot. Shortly there after Brian
was hooked -up and landing the below steelie. 1 for 7 was the final tally, egg sacks and flies were used with success. By noon we
were drenched from head to toe and called it an early day.

Water level - Even with an ALL day steady rain, at 3 PM. the water level is still being forecast to be 700 plus run-off until Monday
midnight. ( Can and probably well change ) The water was supposed to be dropped at noon today from 1200 to 700 but by 9:30
AM. it had already dropped 6 inches in the DSR area.

Brian proudly displays his feisty chromer. Congrats! ( Fish Released )

Hi Randy,
I Just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for an awesome day on the River 3/21. Alex and I appreciated you sharing your
knowledge of the river but more importantly helping us hook into some fish. As soon as the pictures come back alex will have his lone
fish plastered on the walls in his office and in his living room. In addition I would like to commend you on your professionalism. You
do an excellent job promoting the sport. I look forward to scheduling another trip with you next spring.
Mark

Thanks Mark,
I had a blast! Lots of laughs and bent rods. Say Hi to Alex and congratulate him again for landing his first. I really!!!! liked the
picture of you and your brother with that fish!
Best, Randy

Pretty funny Randy! Are you SURE my check cleared?! Later...Andy

Andy, Its all marketing and sales. If I write a funny caption under the picture and I post it on fishing web sites (20,000 hits) and
send it out to my mailing list subscribers (3,000 ). They only see the caption and not the picture. They then have to visit my site to
see the picture. I think your spawning with a steelhead will generate the most hits. What do you think? Just think , 25,000 people
viewing the first ever man spawning with a fish!
Thanks again for the photo. Have any others?
Randy
