Once in a long while, we have days out on the water, where everything just fits right. Good weather, good conversations, and good fishing. For me and my friend, this was a recent Sunday. My friend and I started out early, trying hard to recover from the vodka shots from the previous night. We had only a short pocket of time, so all of our movement (eating, driving, hiking) was done with efficiency in mind. We drove to as far as a car can go, then proceeded to a short hike over some smaller mountains. During the way, we were both excited but chose not to express this as we feared disappointment. We have never fished this mountain lake/ stream before and we were ready to test our luck with the limited knowledge we gained from the small shop prior to the visit. We arrived and then we knew we were at the right place. This is a small mountain lake, and was unknown to many anglers, either because it was smaller, or because it required some navigating to get to. In any case, this was just the type of lake we were looking for…quiet and less pressured.
Gearing up and posing before the day starts.
First few catches were smaller, but enjoyable.
A short but sweet spring day.
