Well, I swore I read that the PFBC was stocking the Wissy
in my neck of the woods before Mentored Youth Day, but no fish are being dumped
until March 31. Three generations of the
family—the boy, Pop, and I—should have known when we had the creek to
ourselves, with the exception of one other father/son team who had it wrong
too. I was trying to maximize
convenience, so we started fishing about 500 yards from my house. Once I realized the mistake, I knew if I took the ride down to the City
where they did stock, I would have lost my son’s interest (and he had a play
date with a bud at noon), so we took water temps, practiced casting, and
basically had a nice walk in the woods on a crisp and sunny March morning. If I actually brought bait, we may have landed a sucker or two, but hindsight is 20/20. The boy was happy to be out with Dad and Pop, and
he got a McDonald’s lunch and a lot of snacks out of me. Ward and I are going to try it again with his
girls on Opening Day, so let me know if I have the dates wrong….. It is next week, right? Yikes!
I might have you beat here. I cam home from Florida today at 4 P.M.
ReplyDeletefigure I should try a little stocked trout fishing. I get to a local stream and it's windy as heck and the water is high and dirty. Not a soul on the stream. Well even the dumbest man has moments of brilliance so I call my wife and tell her to check the opening date.............Lucky for me or I would have had one hell of a fine........I have lost my mind!
