April 3, 2011

Bait-chunkers and spinners pretty much had their 2 day rape yet left complaining "not enough fish to kill!"  I don't dispise someone who wants to keep and eat, if needed, but most of these fish will be thrown aside or left to freezer burn.  What a waste!  Glad it's over, or just getting started (again) depending on how you look at it, I guess.  Some things are too good to be left alone by man.  I understand the wardens were busy.  If the folks who descend on the river during April are such sports-minded folks, why so many violations? 

Still, here's a picture of a very fine young man who passionately fishes the right way with an awesome catch.  True to form, I had to torture him to get him to tell me the story (yeah, right!), and he was ever so happy to tell me what fly he was using and where the fish was caught (yeah, right, again!).  Nice catch and release, Aaron Moore (20" Brook in DH caught 4/3/2011 estimated 3-4 lbs.).
