Big Sky Inspired Fishing Trip

[publichunter1]

I have been wanting to go fishing for a while, especially after seeing all the nice fish Big Sky had been posting. Since I finished up turkey season Wednesday, I decided it was time.

I left the house at 3:30AM this morning and got to the water just as daybreak was happening. By 7:00AM I had my lake limit (including my new personal best a 25" cutbow) and a few thrown back in the slot.






Since I finished earlier than I was thinking. I went and hit a few trails in the NF and found a couple decent sheds.



Thanks to the good Lord above it was a great morning.

Well here is what it is going to be like to be me today. The forecast is for 90% chance of rain and snow with 25 mph winds. A smart person would stay inside near a fire place. Me, I will be standing on the edge of a lake trying to see if any fish are up for a game of tug of war. The way I look at it, a day off is a day off. I can't pick the weather but I can pick what I'm going to do. Gortex will be my friend today.

Sounds like a fun day. It was 25 when I caught those. Kept having to dip my whole set up in the water every 3-4 cast to keep the eyes and reel from freezing up.

I agree it's all about using every opportunity you get to go.
