Trout Fishing Memories, Where Does The Time Go

Time really does fly when it comes to fishing. I can be on the water at day break and before I know it the sun is going down and I have to go home again. I really don`t know where the time goes but I will tell you that I never fall asleep fishing so it`s not that.

I guess that’s where the saying ‘How Time Flies When You’re Having Fun ‘ comes from.

Put The Gardening Tools Down

Tuesday would have been another day in the yard making it our own but Jamie called Monday night and asked if I was up for going fishing. I laugh when people ask me that as a question.

It would have to be something I couldn`t get out of one way or another to keep me from going fishing. Ha

We hit the road at 6am aiming for one of our favorite pickerel fishing hot spots with Jamie at the wheel. I was talking his ear off as usual about everything and anything to do with fishing.

I can be just like a little kid at Christmas when I get out fishing.

When Was The Last Time You Were Trout Fishing

The subject came around to the last time each of us fished for trout and that is when I had to stop and think. My heart health had kept me off thye water for 4 years and I hadn`t trout fished for a few years before that. The best I could come up with was about 8 years with no trout fishing.

I think there may have been a few moments of silence while I was silently telling myself for putting other things ahead of trout fishing.

That is just sad and can`t keep happening.

I don`t think my health is back enough for me to walk a river all day with a fly rod yet but I do have two float tubes that are just itching to get wet. I think I still know of a few ponds and lakes that I have had great fun brook trout fishing.

I can`t keep my arms up for long but I will still bring my fly rod. How else will I build strength in my arms and shoulders.

I can always switch back and forth as I use my left arm to spin cast and I use my right arm to fly cast. I`ll do just fine.
