Oconto

10/11/97

Weather: Partly cloudy, warm
Water: 62 deg, good flow
Hatches: N/A
Time: Afternoon to dark

Comments: The Oconto has a very good flow right now. Found chinook on redds in Stiles both up and downstream from HWY 141 bridge. Saw several fish caught, hooked and lost several. Worked well downstream and found more isolated redds with fish. Caught one nice brown with massive hook jaw on an orange yarn fly. Moved downstream to Suzy's Rapids for evening fishing. Several large browns observed jumping in the rapids. Landed two more large browns, both with spectacular hump backs and hook jaws. Not a bad day!!
