Exploration

I spent yesterday working my way up one of the local rivers here, and although it was starting to color up, there were fish where they should have been. Sixty degrees, bluebird, and good water. What else could I ask for? A bunch of really colored up browns and rainbows? Check.

And to top it all off, hows about a nice big rainbow on 6x? I didn't think I was going to land this dude, particularly after postholing through the snow on the bank and taking a nosedive while chasing it down a riffle. This is definitely the coolest looking rainbow I've seen in a while.

I'm heading back out today to poke around some more, and it may be a bit early but I think the fishing around here is going to be GOOD. Not easy, but good fish that are a bit more of a challenge to get. It's time to step up and bring the A-Game.
