If I'm going to eat fish it's usually going to be cod, deep fried with malt vinegar. <br /><br />Co Angler: Surprisingly no, and it was a super deep edge. The slate is an interesting beast. I think being so close to the headwaters it has a tendency to be sterile (meaning: there's not as much aquatic insect life as a lower order river). So, my theory is the fish don't hang in the deep slow reflection pools as much as they do near the heads of riffles where the food source is a little more steady. But any of the edges that were not as deep and had some good flow moving through them were pretty epic!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152540275123479340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246601229297993652.post-30073848125917159792009-07-29T12:29:24.313-06:002009-07-29T12:29:24.313-06:00don't take fish out of the Slate.don't take fish out of the Slate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246601229297993652.post-90617069957142547462009-07-29T10:38:05.091-06:002009-07-29T10:38:05.091-06:00That's some nice water right there, Jeff.

That first pic says it all (and I would venture to guess there were some nice targets parked along that bank...?).<br /><br />I guess I'm in the same camp as you, being that I agree that 'that's how it goes'. Ah, the beauty of unspoiled waters...R.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17574626634233048298noreply@blogger.com
