What's your game plan for May?

[Porter2]

This is definitely not my plan…some of these guys are good. But odds catch up to you.

Texas rattlesnake handler dies from bite at Rattlesnake Roundup

Organizers at the Freer Rattlesnake Roundup say Eugene De Leon Sr. was performing at the event when a rattlesnake bit him on the shoulder. He died 8 hours later.

Fish as much as I can before spring football practice starts on the 17th! The N. Fork of the C’da is 30 minutes from my doorstep, the Joe and the Clark Fork are les than 2 hours. The pre-runoff season has been everything I had hoped for.

Spring ball for HS? Or College?

 

[Porter2]

There was a day when there was no spring football. So kids could let their hair grow long, play baseball, or get stoned and listen to Pink Floyd, Rush, Led Zeppelin etc.

Spring ball for HS? Or College?

HS…it’s the last 2 weeks of school after the baseball/track state tournaments. They already have their hair grown out, some of them are definitely getting stoned but they don’t listen to Zeplin anymore

Hows the N. Fork and St. Joe been fishing for you? Looking to head out that way soon.

I haven’t fished the Joe yet but the N. Fork has been awesome! There’s still a ton of snow in the Cda’s. Hopefully it comes off slow and steady but we shall see.

I don’t know if the Joe got as much snow but hoping so.

You'll never out fish a plain gold hook like the OG shad dart. Even if tying flies, I have way too much data to support a gold hook being a difference maker.

Interesting!! I think we should plan a real Bobo photo shoot with a shad or two... inspiration comes every once in a while for me!! Haha!

Not opposed, but not making any set plans until I get some shakedown trips in with the boat.

 

[DerekWhipple]

Going to drive over to the D whenever I can get a whole day to fish, and will work on my scandi/spey casting near home otherwise.

Also, some of the upper Clackamas is finally opening up, so I will probably go check out the fire damage and see how the resident trout and whitefish fared.

 

[Yard Sale]

Try and figure out this trout spey game. Got a good day on the water yesterday and have arranged my first canyon float in the last 8 years mid-month. Can't wait to see that water again.

"Game" plans for May? Quite a bit, actually -
My wife and I are heading to Hamilton, MT to see some friends and then over Idaho 12 and down the Lochsa River exploring parts of Idaho we've never seen, this will coincide with our 50th wedding anniversary (no - I won't go fishing). But then, this isn't what the OP had in mind, I don't think, perhaps more like this:

Damn covid kept us from getting up to British Columbia for two years. This year we're back! Milehighresort.com is where we stay, it's our staging for access to a number of lakes we've grown to love over the years. Most of the drives take an hour or more from the cabin to the lake, once lakeside, there's a lot of effort put into getting three prams unloaded and all our gear readied for the day. That's some old guy strapping his pram to the top of Herb's truck. We sort of have it down to a step-by-step sequence anymore.

It's always nice up in the highlands just south of Kamloops, no rain, no snow, no hail, no wind, no mosquitoes. Herb hooked up to a nice rainbow on one of my favorite BC lakes.

Keith netting a rainbow on another one of my favorite BC lakes.

Herb, Keith and I have been fishing together since the early 1980's. What a way to spend two weeks! Fishing with two great guys, eating good food, exploring beautiful British Columbia and then there's the trout!

May's not enough, going to spill over into June.

Really cool Pat!
