First Rise of the season

[Xiph0id]

It was -1. I could see my breath. My hands were cold. The sun was almost down. The geese were loud. The muskrat chewing away less than 3 feet from me.

Then I saw it. Wasn't sure at first. But then I saw about 1/2 dozen more.
Rainbow rising to feed.

I felt like a little school girl.

Can't wait to hit the water in a day or two and land one!

I've seen a few, but no steady risers

Saw my first few rises of the year yesterday on Prairie. Tossed a dry into the riffle and after a pretty good battle landed a nice healthy brown trout of some 16".

Made it out for the first time this year to a little lake west of Hinton and had a blast landed 15 brookies most 12-13 inch but I managed to land 2 about 16 inch, there was a small hatch coming off and it ended up right place, right time and right guy lol
