I looked and it was on….

Took a stroll out to the Root as my friend suggested and it looks like it’s on. Being a Saturday, there were anglers stacked at each hole, but after a long winter, nearly everyone had a smile on their face (including me). The river was running stained from the recent rain, but still fishable. I failed to land a fish, but had a couple of strikes & was encouraged by watching the guy next to me land a fish (photo is his fish - nice 27"). Standing in the water, I thought about catching a fish for my friend … soon.
