We fished Blackrock Gulch South on the way home on Sunday. Overcast skies, but seemed a bit warmer, maybe low 60's for temps. Water clarity excellent in the lower river, flows above the Borel powerplant are very low, around 100 cfs I'd estimate. We fished a few likely spots but got no action, using spinners (Panther Martin, Black Fury) again. Got a call on the radio from Karen upstream, and ran up to where she was, and she had a nice 14" rainbow. After getting a picture, I headed back to the pool I was working, and made a few casts. I didn't need the radio to hear her next hookup. I ran up to see her struggling with the fish pictured- She originally thought she had a big carp or squawfish on. It was leading her around the pool she hooked it in, and it took off on a short run twice. She brought it in, and was shaking. With no net, I had to reach down quickly to grab it. I held up to measure it- just under 20 inches. Beautiful coloration and spotting, Karen originally wanted to keep it. But she decided that releasing it was probably best. So back into the water while she gently cradled the fish, and when it was ready, glided upstream along the bank, and down into the depths of the pool. Karen had to sit down to compose herself, this was a truly large fish. I would estimate to be between 3 and 3.25 pounds, the largest fish either of us had landed in the Kern. I made a few more efforts to hook a fish, but we needed to get on the road. In about 1 1/2 hours fishing, we landed a total of 2 fish, both Karen's. I did not even have a hit. But anytime you land such a nice fish, I would classify the fishing as pretty good. Matt
