no hunting - so I went fishing

Post by wabi »

Still about a month to wait for turkey season to open and the weather was nice today so I headed to the local lake where trout were recently stocked.

Took the new Echo Carbon 6'6" 3wt fly rod and found some trout.

Brought home enough for a meal tomorrow. :D

Man, fishing is already open too where you live. I am going to have to sell my home and move where all the action is. I have to wait until the first of April before I can start fishing. And before any hunting can be started it is the beginning of October for upland game bird hunting. Unless I want to go and become a poacher instead of being a hunter and that is no fun. You can't lie and make your fish or deer bigger in the stories. If you tell any stories about poaching you get caught, so that is definitely no fun, :lol: :lol: :lol: . Well up goes the for sale sign tomorrow. Where should I move to? I like the country life style and like to hunt and fish and be in the outdoors. I am game for new hunting experiences, I might just have to drug the wife to get her to move, that can be arranged, :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: .

Not bad eating! :D

With baked fresh dinner rolls (from scratch) and some veggies on the side made me feel like I'm a lucky man! (that's ready for a nap now :lol: )
