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!
