Things are waking up!

[Hookmanski]

I went out Saturday for some fishing at some new water near my new house. I first hit a large pond, used for swimming in the summer apparently. I landed one nice largemouth (https://www.flickr.com/photos/147680.../shares/m1x1v1) and lost a bigger one to a horrible snag Definitely going to be trying this place out again soon.

Later in the day I tried a small tributary river that wasn't high like all the main ones in the area. It was very trashed, litter everywhere, I picked up what I could. Really sad that the people in the area don't seem to care at all about a stream like this, because I managed to catch 5 or 6 creek chub all on a trout magnet (https://www.flickr.com/photos/147680.../shares/0C0qgV) There was some really good looking trout water in that creek, but I don't believe they stock it anymore. And with all the pollution, I could see why.

All in all, a great day of fishing. Can't wait to get out again. Tight lines!
