    Andy Kurth and I typically go out for opening Saturday.

    No need to hit the water early.
    Water will be too cold early.
    There will be no green like pictured above

    Fast water will be out
    trout won’t struggle to hold in fast
    expending too much energy for reward

    Targeting thermals is good idea.
    small springs feeding in like one
    above on the left could be loaded
    with trout.

    Fall holding places like this one will
    be too shallow and fast
    for an early spring morning.

    Deeper slower bottomed
    winter holding areas will be
    the ticket for success.

    Depending on how badly I am worn out I will be fishing with Zach on Sunday.
    We will be targeting wintering places for spinners on Sunday.

    Slow deep bends with thermals near.

    Some slow
    log jam busting
    to awaken sleeping giants
    is always fun on opener weekend.

    I like fishing in early spring. Easy walking… generally less pressure… big fish seem willing. I really like just a touch of color from melting to stir them up and help cover my approach. Do you like clear or stained water?

    clear water is hard to fish. Have had better luck with some stain.
