First Trout of the Season.....

April 25th, cold, wet, drizzly, day. Set up the 10'x10' Portable Awning for cover. Also perfect for spinners and spoons.

I volunteered to help the local Amateur Radio Club out with radio communications for the annual River Race in Sturbridge, sponsored by the Sturbridge Lions Club. So while I was waiting I cast a couple times....

And hooked this nice 12" rainbow. Too bad it did a self release before I could pick it up, but notice the Orange Rooster Tail.

Then a couple future Rogue Angels showed up and tried to outfish me...

Until the Pirates of the Quinneboag River showed up!

BTW the River Race was a success, 112 canoes, kayaks, and rowboats participated.
