Spent the day with Nate checking out different locations on the Green. We started by the soccer fields in Auburn, but the water was pretty high and kinda off color, so moved farther up river. Soos creek had some chum bing caught, mostly darker but a couple not too bad, mainly by a guy twitching jigs that was in the zone. We moved from there to Metzler, which proved to be nicer looking water. Unfortunately the chum didn't seem to be around much. NO one we spoke to had any luck. While we were the a nice older couple caught a chrome bright steelhead in the 10 pound range on a pink jig under a float - wow! That caught our interest. We fished this area for awhile longer but moved on to our final destination of the day, Hangling Gardens, upstream from the Icicle hatchery. The half mile hike in was well worth it. What a beautiful, secluded location! Water looked great, again, a bit high and fast man, it sure had possibilities. We worked the water with jigs under floats, drift fishing corkies, spoons, and spinners. Nada. Nate briefly had a bobber down and head shake but could get the hook to set. With this location we ran out of day. Thanks Nate for taking me to some cool locations. I hadn't been to the Green in many many years and it was pretty fun to check out all those locations. We'll get em next time!
