Friday Fishing Report: Cold

Down here in the valley it was a fine day. There were showers, but they skirted around us.

It was warm. Cat basking warm.

Up at the lake a squall was blowing through. The wind was strong and from the north. A cold wind.

I heard someone say the fishing was good until the weather came up. Until I got there.

Suffice it to say I tried a variety of approaches to lure the wily trout.

None worked.

I found a sheltered nook and huddled for warmth. None was to be found.

If you had told me while I was freezing in the river in March that I would be freezing in the lake in May, I would have socked you in the jaw.

But you would have been right.
