The bites were light and we missed a couple until we dialed them in. We landed 7 fish and an OOS smallie; We lost about 7 or 8 fish; I lost a beast on our last drift. Would likely have been the biggest for the day but the line got cut on some rocks. All fish were caught on UL rods; the fight the fish gave aided by the current meant each fish landed was a real challenge. The UL rods really helped with the light bites. Detecting light bites when your drifting downtream and your lead bounding off the rocks is really tough to get the hang of but determination pays off.

Really got a chance to knock the dust off of all off my rusty fishing skills and get back into fighting shape in a hurry.
For those interested the smelt run is full swing.
