Finally hit a river this year!

[fish_finder]

So, with the intense cabin fever pounding away, it was clearly time to escape!! This was our first trip out this year, and quite nice!! Kurto and a buddy, Tim joined me for the trip. We all expected to be a little rusty after a few months of tying instead of fishing!

 

We headed here for a sunny day of fun!!

 

 

 

After a stroll of 20 minutes or so, we parked ourselves on a stretch of river about 500 meters long, moving up and down, all around.

 

 

 

After an hour or so.......FISH ON!!!

 

 

 

Quite the battle ensued. I left the very tip of my 7wt on a different river last fall.....so I was using my 5wt. But finally, my buddy Tim dove in a scooped her out of her humble swamp.

 

 

 

And the release!!

 

 

Great way to start the season!!!!

Thanks guys, it was great to get out!!

 

Saw quite a few fish.....but with the temps on the rise, I figure quite a few rivers will be blown by next week, if not sooner!!
