First Fish of the New Year

[Trent Jones]

Headed out to SNP yesterday with my buddy Kyle to try and connect with our first fish of the year. It was a beautiful day and I landed my first fish of the year, a gorgeous brown trout (pictured below). And Kyle got his first fish as well including the good looking Brookie pictured below. It was a mix bag of Browns and Brooks, all on nymphs.

Nice. Beautiful fish.

I snuck out Sunday and got my first 2016 fish- see attached. Taken off one of Snowhites' BWO hot spot little Klink hammer flies size 24 and on my bloody three weight. Good times.

Nice Justin -- I respect people who "fish" rather than just "talk about fishing".  I work next to a guy who hasn't bike commuted in 5 years, but people still come and talk him up about their commute, the trails, etc. all the time.  Same thing. 

"Listening to talkers makes me thirsty".

I headed south to see family and worked my way north from Jacksonville to Charleston and then Wilmington.  Wound up ending 2015 and starting 2016 with a fish slowly becoming my favorite quarry…

PS – Gents, when fishing trout streams after the November spawn, stay out of the water please until the end of March.  The risk of squashing eggs and later alevin is too great.

I feel you Gene. Nice work boys. I bet those reds were a hoot!

So while I was out Sunday my friend  caught a big ol Saugeye while nymphing with a small midge puppa. I was dumbfounded.

This is becoming a pretty neat topic.  Pretty fish guys --

I'm always jealous of good redfish pictures.  I rarely get out to the salt (4 times total I think) and haven't really had a "fishy" day out there to be honest.
