Decent trout fishing

My daughter and I hit the SB yesterday for the second time this year, we followed the river up and finally settled at non stocking point because no one was there. We managed to catch around 20 up to 18". The water was in perfect condition for fishing unlike our first trip when we caught zero

 The highlight of the trip was young bald eagle that came swooping down on us and tried to grab one of the fish we released but missed and then perched up in a tree above us. He sat there curiously watching us, my daughter gut hooked a fish that was a bleeder so I removed the hook and raked the gills and threw it in the shallows, he swooped down and grabbed it and flew down the river, 15 minutes later he was back for another meal, he kept an eye on us until we left. Pretty cool to witness
