I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Many factors go in to reading.

Fished today on Non-designated trout water in Richland County today with my daughter Anna. We started at 1:30pm and it was hard sledding until it clouded up. We lost a few at shore and half way through the outing we changed our tactics and it was amazing the results we had. I landed 8 trout in 3 hours and Anna landed 18. Anna's biggest to hand is below.

Joe was fishing the Mississippi River a couple days ago and caught and released this huge female walleye.
Fished a tiny stream this morning way off the roadway. Fished from 8:30am until 11:30am. The weather conditions were sunny with gin clear water. The water temp was 44 degrees. The outdoor temp was 52 degrees.
When I got off the road a ways....
This is what I saw first.
Five trout later I moved upstream to the tiny water I was looking forward to.
There were trout in every little drop deeper than 12 inches.
It was fun puddle jumping.
12 browns and one brookie later I walked back to the car
Fished with my buddy Bruce for 4 hours this morning.
Early the action was slow due to cold water. Water temp was 38.
When the sun came up we did better in shallow slow areas with
the sun warming the water. We each had approximately 15 to hand.
Fished with my friend Bruce Ristow this morning. He talked me in to going to an area with lunker structures. I dislike lunkers and did not expect much and I was not surprised when we caught 6 trout between us in the silted in made made Petting Zoos.
We changed locations and went after some tiny stream brookies. We each caught about 15.
Stopped in on the way home at one of my favorite streams and picked another 15 or so.
None were big and the stream is know for the light colored browns.
66 degrees here today and bright sun. Stream temps were 48 and 54
Trout Seminars: May 8th, June 19th, and September 11th. Workshops will be 1pm until 4pm.
Andy Kurth and I fished today. The major rain and runoff made it hard to find clean water today.
We had to do some serious searching for clean water but it paid off and we fished a nice long stretch.
We both got about a dozen to hand. We each lost about another dozen.
The trout just weren't hitting it. They were timid and only rolling on it or mouthing it.
Andy and I each caught one brookie and the rest were browns.
Some were right up in the fast water. The water temp was 48.
rain and warm temps are forecasted for my area so went out for 2 hours today....12 to hand.
The rain and overnight temps above freezing will cause some serious run off.
Fished with a friend yesterday and this morning. I let him have holes first and gave him pointers on where to cast and what to use. His wife revoked his "Man Pass" at noon today and I was left to flounder and trudge through the snow alone this afternoon. 37 trout later and my legs are really tired and my back is killing me I am happy and satisfied. Very good opening weekend.
Life is good.
Tomorrow is opening day for me.
I will give you one guess what I have been dreaming about.
Would you have expected any thing else?
