Well my Cousin Vu and I decided to go fishing today, we started off at about 07:00. We parked down the street from the entrance and then began our difficult journey up the hill, me walking and Vu riding, we started at his favorite (New now that neither of can take our boats on the lake) honey hole, we fished there about 1 hour with no bites, there were 3 other brave souls there as well, whom none were seeing any action. We proceeded south of the east end and on my second or third cast I nailed one. It fought hard and wrapped me in the brush, I pulled and Pulled and then I finally got frustrated and opened the bail, let it swim out of the cover and then once again I was ON. Finally drug the fish through all the obstacles and landed it. Off we went in search of new territory we continued south, Once again after a very long time I get bit and it spit the hook, another long dry spell and I get bit for the 3rd time, this little sucker ( and I do mean little as it measured in at around 10 inches) wrapped me up again (We were fishing heavy cover), I pulled on my rod to no avail, I opened the bail and the fish would not / could not swim out of the cover, so I grabbed my line and pulled it to break it off and to my wounder and surprise I pulled the fish and the shrub out and then just reeled them both in. Again I cast and retrieve, cast and retrieve and just repeat the whole process over and over again my legs are screaming sore and my butt hurts from the bike ride. I finally ended the day with 3 landed 2 spit hooks (After screaming drags), and 2 short bites that I could feel. All in all I walked / rode for about 8 miles today. That is hands down the most exercise that I have gotten in the past 3 + years!
Hoping that I have the courage to attempt it again next week.
Ps. There is supposed to be a meeting with the DFG, they are to discuss the northern territories about trout and hatcheries, so any body that is getting stir crazy and is itching to fish... Parris is still ready to give you a run for your money.
Hope that there is still someone to read my post!
