Spring in December!!
I fell right in the brook yesterday, and didn't even care that much, because, for Dec. 22nd, it was surprisingly warm. (60ish). There was a really thick morning fog, and then mostly overcast afternoon, with brief bursts of sunlight. After snow last week, and temps never higher than the 30's the week before, I had to get out.
Me and a bud hit a stream we had only ever caught browns in before, that was about to change...
sunny rays hitting the water started a few rings on the surface, and soon I had a Huge 4" Bk to hand.
A first for this stream, & proof that they are there!

wow frogs in December! It was a nice few days. glad you were able to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThe frog was a big surprise, had to snap a photo! Worked 12.5 hrs today, Mondays suck. Maybe next weekend will be in the 70's?
DeleteIf you have to take a dip in the creek, I suspect it's good that it wasn't 30 or below.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness. Normally a 12" deep stream, I step pen in at a spot I thought was leaves covering a sandy bottom, next thing I'm catching myself in a 4' hole. No idea how my waders didn't fill up. Luck
