Hit my favorite hole for chums today with one of my friends. With in 5 min i had a nice 5 pound hen hooked up and landed it. Landed 2 fair hooked fish and probably 20 foul hooked. I lost around 15 fair hooked chums and a lot of other foul hooked ones. My friend landed 6 but they were all foul hooked. He had a few on that were fair hooked but he wasn't getting solid hook sets. We started off around 1030 and at 2 or so it started dumping and we hooked a couple more but after the rain stopped the fish stopped biting. We saw a couple other fish caught. Purple, white, pink in smaller sizes worked the best i was using a 5wt with floating line and my friend was using an 8wt with sinking. I would have got pics but i didn't want to get my camera wet ill get some next time.

they all were released and swam away just fine. we didnt try to snag them we are just 2 teenages fishing and im sure if you were there you would have snag fish to. it just happens so dont point fingers and say stuff thats not true.

Wow, good work! Where in the river were you fishing at? I went out on Friday 10/31 and Monday 11/3 just upstream from Monroe. I didn't even see a fish, and no one else fishing around me had any luck either.
