Yesterday I finally got my boots wet again this year. The fishery is a small creek, stocked with trout almost year-round. It’s currently in a “delayed harvest” season, wherein all trout must be released and only artificial lures may be used. This makes for a creek full of fish – but they also feed these guys once a week…or at least they used to 5 or 6 years ago. I ended up catching only 6 or 7, but I was fiddling with the new rod and new camera more than I was fishing I guess. I also had plenty of frustrating interactions with trees, as I tried to get a handle on fishing with a fixed 11-12 ft. line.
Anyway, enjoy the video and don’t laugh too much at me in my …uhmmmm….shrunken waders. I’m sure my wife washed them and dried them on “high” this fall. I’m sure of it. Absolutely sure.
