Trout Fishing
Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2008 7:14 pm
Alright so I braved it and went trout fishing. I got skunked which never happens when I go bass fishing. But I'm going again Sunday with a close friend who is a really good trout fisherman so I'm going to learn how properly.
But I wanted to share what I thought was funny. I was using a trout spinner and I was skipping it under a tree up stream from me and pulling it back down stream. When I casted it I messed up and ended up wrapping it around a tree that was crossing a stream like 17 feet up. It spun around really good several times so I parted with the spinner and cut the line. I switched to bobber after that and was lazily casting it up stream enjoying the scene when about 20 minutes later a trout leaps from the water like 5 feet to bite the line still attached to my lost spinner. It scared the hell out of my wife and I who were just relaxing because it leapt at us and barely landed back in the stream and took off. I was amused heh.
