He looks like he was hungry!

Very hungry. Tough river to make a living on in the winter.

Went for a float last week. Caught a few suckers to fry up after the trash fish post.

Fall colors.
Even the river walleye.

Fish of the day.

I asked three guys in a nearby boat if one of them would trade their spinning rod for my fly rod, since they were catching fish.
We had tried a dozen flies and finally put on the flashiest fly we had to match the gold spoon the other boat was using.
Bingo.
Observe and adapt.

Cold, wet hands. Fingers numb and nearly functionless. It's official, winter fishing. My favorite.

Every year around March I get excited for rainbows running up the local tributaries to spawn. The first fish of the year was a damn good one.
