I went out again to collect Sacramento pikeminnow and hardhead for my study. I was joined by my friend Diane. We had a terrific weekend fishing, hanging out, and enjoying the beautiful scenery. We caught no fish unfortunately. I think the cold weather and rain turned off the minnow bite. I saw one adult minnow, but I couldn't get a bite. The trout bite appeared to be on though. We saw lots of nice fish rising for caddis. I was focusing on getting minnows, though, and I didn't try for the trout as tempting as they were. I might as well have, since I got skunked. Sometimes, I guess it isn't as important to catch the fish as it is to be where the fish are.
I will be out on the North Fork Feather for the next two Saturdays if anyone wants to join me or say hello.
Here are some pics from the weekend:
