first fish of the year
first fish of the year
despite this unseasonably cold spring here in new england, i caught a nice little 12" brown at a stream up in NH. water temp was in the 30s i'm sure, all the ponds and lakes are still frozen even down here in boston.

i almost always catch and release.
i think i was pushing the envelope a bit by trying so early, but cabin fever got to me. i figured if i got skunked it would convince me to wait a few more weeks. got him on a tiny spoon and he was so cold he barely put up a fight. think i'll give the fish a few more weeks to warm up anyway.
