Before the Thompson fishery closed, Kirby and Buddha headed out to catch one more Thompson Steelie. Leaving at 4 am Kirby promised we would be back for the ufc fight that night.
On the way there, heavy snow even made the experienced fishingbuddha a little motion sickness.
Arriving at 7:15 am at Spences Bridge, the fishingbuddha hits and loses one steelie at Shaw Springs. After hitting a couple of more holes, the two ended up at Borax hole where the fishingbuddha hooked into another big one that snaps the main line.
In the end, two fish hooked and lost and a lot of big trout caught.
On the way home, an avalanche caused some delay. Fear of missing the ufc fight, the fishingbuddha decides to back track to Spences Bridge to Merritt and down the Coq Hwy. In the end, 6 hours of fishing….10 hours of driving and then up until 2am watching the fight. Now thats fishing toughness!
