Sunday, Oct 21, 2012Quote(s) of the Day: When you are fishing at Lincoln Hills, life cannot be better!
Andy landed the biggest fish of his life and it was a beautiful big rainbow. Lincoln Hills is a target rich environment.
Fishing Highlights:
It is always a great day when you are able to spend time outdoors and fly fishing. We all spent our time hunting for and landing some excellent trout. Andy got in a groove after lunch and landed a number of great rainbows. Drew took home the prize for the big fish of the day with his 24" rainbow.
The fishing is great.
Clear skies and 52-55 degree weather. The water temperature was between 40-43 degrees and Crystal Clear.
