First trip of the year

I couldn't take it any longer. I haven't fished since October last year. I had to get out. I didn't catch anything in the 42 degree water but it was nice to be back out swinging the long rod again. It won't be long before the trout will be looking up again. This has been a long cold winter and people can't wait until they can get out and enjoy the outdoors again. Don't get me wrong. I like winter hiking and such but this year was dreadful. I have been gone from Sweden too long. Thank God I don't live there anymore. They have had more than 3 ft of snow in my old home town. It's been snowing off and on since Christmas.
