The First Fishing Trip of the Season
The ice is not completely out but it was a warm sunny morning with only a little wind and a crystal clear blue sky. The upper stretches of the Saint George are open to fishing year round and get a good stocking of brown trout in the fall. So I thought I would try my luck. The water level in the river is low for this time of year; after all of the rain last fall it feels very odd to say that it is dry. I was able to wade in places that are normally way too deep and fast at this time of year. The water temperature was cold and I was glad to have my neoprene waders on.
