The first spring rainbow is always something to celebrate. The suns warmth and light has once again returned to the great white north. The ever shrinking snow starts to give way to browns, grays, and eventually the greens of summer. The once frozen rivers return to life, slowly at first, and then become raging torrents once again. Rods and reels get dusted off, waders get patched and put back into circulation, and smiles return to the faces of those that have been dreaming of spring's first rainbow since the fall freeze.

Sneaked me a day off of work to poke around the local river and look for a hungry trout. It was a glorious day to be outside. Found a handful of rainbows and a few dollies and in the process officially kicked of another fishing season. Bout time.


What? You don't take a snow machine when you go fishing?






How does this thing work again? Oh yeah, wave the end around and then point it where you want the line to go..or something like that. Toes go numb pretty quick this time of year.
