Our March Float.
I sure am glad to see that spring has arrived and winter has left us for another year. That is not to say that we may not see snow again here. We decided that we were going to test the waters today and get the boat out from its winter hiding spot. I blew the dust off and made sure we had everything we needed for the six hour journey down the river. It was concluded that we were going to float down inside the city limits to find those pesky trout.
The float was slow and sometimes chilly but we had done something I have never done before, float in March. So off we went and no trout to be found for the first two hours. We came around the corner near Riverbend and I casted into the bank that still showed signs of winter. I reeled in slowly and bang, I am into a decent sized Rainbow Trout that’s doing its best to shake my bait. The rest of the trip was rowing and sight seeing but as they say, a slow day of fishing is better than a good day at work. The good thing is June is coming up quickly, then this river will come to life!
