Recap of Late February, March and Early April

During late February it was probably too cold to go out on the streams but we made a trip or two and had some luck.

Made it out a couple times during spring break. Found some very wary fish in a stream nearby home.

Dad with a nice brown.

Back in Winona the ice was out and the temps were on the rise, as was the fishing.

March 21; birthday outing was the best outing this year. Fished from 7-2 and caught close to 40 fish. Met up with my dad halfway through and had a great time on the water.

A cold, windy morning produced some nice fish and a leftover from the hunting season.

 March 31; beautiful morning in the foggy driftless. Fished three different streams and did well on each. Found a true treasure in the last one.

I had never thought much about tiger trout (hybrid mix of a brook trout and brown trout). I knew that they existed and are very rare but I had no idea they would be the most beautiful fish I've ever caught.  

It was a very cool experience catching one.

 April 2; fished some more beautiful streams in the Houston area before heading home for easter.

 Yesterday I scouted a stretch I plan to fish tomorrow morning with a couple friends.

Excited for what the rest of spring has in store. So many places to adventure and so much to discover! Looking forward to keeping a couple trout here and there once the harvest season opens in a couple weeks.
