First part of the summer was spent hunting down new trout rivers. I checked around 10 new streams. A couple showed some promise. Managed to land a couple decent trout and plenty of smaller ones.

Every so often overtake heavy duty farming equipment. A stark contrast from the busy city streets I am used to. Sunny, but chilly the air...
Big river, big chub Big River Fishing a small river is straight forward. Every fallen tree, boulder, river loop, low hanging branch with shade is potential for a catch. An anglers imagination runs wild of what could lay beneath the water in such spots. When casting precision is more important than distance. Staying quite and...
