So, after lurking on here for quite a while and fishing on the NSR for most of the summer, I finally caught something tonight! I could see fish jumping all evening but then switched to a slip bobber rig and caught 4 nice Goldeye. The best part is that this spot is only a 15 minute walk from my house. I'll take some pictures for next time, I was too excited to be catching fish to bother with my phone camera.
The NSR can definitely be a little tricky when you're first getting started on it, but once you get it even a little figured out it really is a great fishery. And now that you've managed to get yourself into some fish you'll be out there even more than you were before.

I live downtown, but I have wheels so I can go just about anywhere. I know that the catching is the easy part, I just haven't found the right spot. I know that there are some good looking places around downtown but getting down to the river is usually my problem.
I usually go fishing on the river a couple nights a week and at least once during the weekend. I don't think there's a better excuse to get outside than fishing!
