Fishing started out on the slow side. Here's another shot of Deep Hole.

and another one of Deep Hole.

We made a move to Secas to find the same slow conditions.

We were able to pull a few samples up, but nothing worth staying for. Steve decided to move down the line to a different spot.

We made a quick stop at Red Roof, but it didn't look too good so we kept on looking.

The next stop was Encinal. We pulled a few more samples here.
