Hi all. I had a the choice of going out for some Ocean action and some Late Night Buggin with the "HESBROS" but decided to chill at home and maybe get a little hike in my Backyard after going for the big food shopping with the wife.
It has been since New Years Day since I got have wet a line so I was overdue.
I went for a very much shorter hike of about 10 minutes from the house to get some more of the Natives that reside in the canyon.
I started of working a very small kastmaster in some of the larger but not very big pools for a few of the smaller variety. Tried a few new very small variety of spinners and spoons for some limited success.
Switched to the Single Egg hook with 1/16 oz wt. and dropped it a 4'x4' pool for a very nice holdover Stocker.
Granted the fish here are rarely larger than the palm of your hand the little guys put on a very exiting aerial show once hooked.
Here are a few of the pics!!!
This lil guy flipped back into the water before I could get a great pic. He is the True Native of the Canyon!

This is the offspring of the Stockers but still technically a native.

Holdover that is very much in the healing process from the Hatchery and unusually large for the canyon!!!
Amazing how these guys survive the low water flow during the summer!
