WOW, after a long winter and long work hours for the past 3 months, I was finally ably to get the kayak in the river this afternoon for a couple of hours.
Made a few casts in the usual spots with nothing, but I was heading down river to a early season high water spot that has been good to me over the years.
Today, it was good again ! After 20 minutes, I landed two small pike, just over 20 inches, until I hooked and landed this solid fish. A quick paddle out of the current into some slack water and was able to snap a couple of pictures before getting drenched and letting her swim away.
Good luck to all the river pike guys this year and lets have a safe and productive season !!!!
