Spring
It is coming!
Little plants sticking their first leaves up, birds flying around chirping happily, the days are getting longer.
Open water fishing is coming. I can feel it.
Our favorite perch lake is going to be good this year. Size is on the upswing of the cycle. When the days are long and hot we will spend hours in the boat, merrily catching piles of the little buggers.
But now is the time for night fishing ling, down at the secret spot on the river, (well one of them!) with a crackling fire, as the river flows sluggishly by, ocasionally yielding a fishy favor to those with the patience to sit beside it half the night. Trout are returned to their watery home. Sadly, we rarely fish on the upper stretches of the river during the day.
The youngest child is of an age to more comfortably participate in the fishing and camping experience. The freedom of the lakes and mountains beckon. The time is coming.
