Our private section of Battle Creek fished really well today.  Ivan from Palo Alto was back for his 3rd trip on Battle Creek.  The fish were on the grab from the get-go.  We had a lot of luck with a size 10 Turck's tarantula, but our best fly was a size 12 parachute adams.  Ivan had one spot where he hooked five fish in five casts!  Our biggest fish was about 10", a great fish on a four weight rod.  We also saw a couple dozen spring Chinook today.  These fish are really amazing.  Just to see them is a treat.  They'll hang out in the creek until mid-September and then they'll spawn and die.  Last year Battle Creek had a record run of 700+ spring Chinook.
