It was high 40’s by noon today and starting tomorrow we aren’t supposed to get above freezing for a while. So, I thought I better get a river trip in before real winter starts. Hiked down the nature trail looking for the steep staircase that leads to one of my favorite stretches of water. Walked by it a couple times, which led me to believe it hasn’t seen much use lately. There was only one set of footprints going down and back up, so I figured this stretch hasn’t seen much pressure since our last snowfall over a week ago. It was a bit slippery, but made my way down without incident. I was rewarded with some pretty decent fishing, hooking up on just my third cast and netting a total of seven with a couple missed takes. After about an hour, the wind kicked in and was blowing hard, I fished a bit longer picking up my last fish around 1:30. Tired of fighting the wind (15mph with gusts to 25 according to the app on my phone) I headed home. Even though it was short lived, it was a beautiful day with some nice fish.
