It used to open at 5:00AM & before that it was midnight.
Opening day is the only time I will get up early to go fishing. Robert & I rarely miss opening day. We did not go last year.
Opening day is usually cold & today was no different. We decided not to get up early, instead we got up & around, went to breakfast. After breakfast then we got all of our gear on & shivered into the river. The current was almost too fast for me this year. I was scared of falling & I was having a hard time moving against the current.
I caught the first fish. When it jumped I could see that it was a good sized Rainbow.
I was not able to land it though. After that all I caught were Suckers :(
Robert had more luck fishing this trip than I. (Yeah imagine that)
He caught two Rainbow Trout that were on the edge of the size limit of 7 inches. He threw those back. He ripped into a nice Brown Trout.
That Brown was the only fish we brought home.
It was very windy & cold. But the listening to the birds singing & the creek flowing. The excitement of the nibbling of the fish. The doing something with my hubby, It's all worth it.
