2011 Highline (North Central Montana) Furious Fishing Tale Report.

[Thunderthumbs]

Ok, so it's on like never before this year. After my disasterous season last year, I'm going to be fishing like never before this season. I'm doing it all too, pike, trout, walleye, carp, anything I can fish I'm fishing!
It's been an awefully long and cold winter and this past week it has warmed up into the 40's each day. I close my office at 4:00 pm on Wednesdays, so this past Wednesday, I just had to get out. The wind was blowing a mild 20 miles an hour, and the trout were rising. I headed to one of my favorite little holes in a local stream to see if I could get into any good trouble. I tied on an adams klinkhammer and hammered the fish. I only had about an hour to fish, but in that hour I managed to land somewhere around 15 trout. It was simply wonderful. I wanted to take pics of all the fish, but when I found out how stinking cold the water was after taking one of my first, I decided that I'd rather catch a few more fish and not worry about pictures just yet.
So with no further adoo (?sp) The first fish of the year!

Hugo -

Are you going to be doing one continuing thread for all your fishing outings this year ?? With all those species you are hunting, it would be great to follow your adventures through the close of 2011 !!

Hugo,

Nice fishy! I agree with John. How about a long thread to cover all your adventures?

That is my plan indeed...one loooooooong continuous thread to cover it all. I've already made plans for tomorrow. A friend and I are going to check out a local reservoir where there are some nice big bows that love to cruise the ice as it recedes. If it isn't fishable, we're going to the same place I went to on Wednesday. Hope to have some nice pictures for Monday.
