I had an hour and a half of my lunch time to fish and I went to the spot where i've been slaying them for the past few weeks. Sure enough there are lot's of guys there and that spot doesn't seem to be secret no more. Anyway the guys there weren't fishing the spot correctly because as soon as I claimed a spot and started fishing I hook into a monster that starts peeling my line like crazy goes into a bush and snaps my line. My heart is pumping at that time arms shaking from the adrenaline. Few more casts later and thump thump set the hook and I feel a solid headshake then an explosion on the surface of the water. A bright 8 pound silver bright chrome splashes the surface. It then starts to peel out line and jumps a few more times. I got the fish landed shortly after and got the catch card marked. Minutes later after landing that one I get my second fish on and it does a similar dance to the first one. Almost the exact size and brightness. Two chrome hens I pull out in less than 20 minutes i'm out with my limit. Back to work with memories of catching chrome silvers minutes away from work. Man are we blessed with awesome fishing. I would drive hours just to get this kind of action. I only have to drive less than 20 minutes to the hole which is phenomenal.

The water was higher today and many fish are moving up river. The upper stilly should be good this week.
