5-18-11(PM)

This afternoon I guided Dan and Salene Mayberry on a striper trip. This morning the water was starting to rise and get muddy but I thought we could pull off 1 more trip before it was too dirty. We launched at the Colusa State Park and headed up stream to see what we could find. We stopped at several spots and drifted minnows but were not seeing much action. As we worked our way through the hole Salene hooked and landed a nice keeper sized male and then another that was a 12 pound male. We worked our way down to Ward's Landing before deciding to call it quits. Dan and Salene just wanted to get out and catch a few fish to eat, so we headed in. The river is supposed to rise 4 feet in the next couple of days and then recede and stabilize. Hopefully this will be just what we need to bring another run of fresh fish up our way. We will just have to wait and see what happens.
