Annual Send for Scott

[Hookmanski]

Every year on my dad's birthday I go out for some Trout fishing therapy. For those who don't know, we lost my father to suicide in 2016. I do this trip yearly to memorialize him and honor one of his favorite things to do.

This year was frigid and I explored some new water close to home. A lot of slipping and scrambling on the snow/ice. Saw some good looking holes but nobody was home.

You are never alone in this world. Don't ever forget that. There is always someone to turn to if you need help.

Great post. Your head is certainly in the right mode. Although the fish didnt cooperate today they have before for you and will again from reading your reports .

Nice tribute to your Dad and you are right no one is ever alone.
You are a good person!

Regardless of how the fishing was this is such a great way to honor your dad. Fishing is about more than just catching a fish :)

Great message right there .

Even on tough days our heart allows us to remember the good as much as the bad.

May you be blessed with many great days , and enough tough ones to make the others as special as they should be .

Keep your dad alive in your heart , he will always be there .

Haha thats correct, a rainbow. During trout season, when I'd call my dad, he'd answer the phone and before saying hello "Trout count is up to ###!"
