Fishing - Gila mis-adventure

As for OBROFF, at many of the crossings and when the trail
was near the river, I could see smallmouth bass, and the
occasional carp. I didn't visually see any fish I was sure
were trout, but when I fished the fast-flowing pocket
water, that's all I hooked. I tried casting to some bass
in the slower water, but the river was so low and clear
that I couldn't do it without spooking them. I just fished
a foam hopper. It was barbless and I think I only touched
one fish, the others just flopping off once they were
lifted out of the water. It's just fun getting them to
strike, though if I'd been serious about dinner I'd'a
been bummed ;-)

I only fished for about 45min at our Saturday lunch break.
These trips are _a_lot_ of work for me, and fishing is the
lowest priority activity. There were lot's of nice pools
I would have loved to try out. Maybe I'll backpack up it
solo someday.

Seriously great TR Jon.
