Trout Fishing 2019

Headed up north with Joe and John on Thursday  morning to set up camp on the Boardman River. When we arrived the temp was in the middle 60's and no snow on the ground. A good start for the season.
Saturday morning the temp was in the lower 30's with a lot of wind. The fishing was tough but we ended up keeping 4 Brown Trout, enough for a trout dinner. Sunday morning the temp was in the upper 20's with a little wind which made for some tough fishing. By mid day the temp was pretty nice and the fishing improved. We caught our largest fish on Sunday evening. We had a 17 inch brown, a 21 1/2 inch brown and a 22 inch brown. In 40 years of trout fishing we never had two brown trout over 20 inches for the opening weekend. From here the weather went south and so did the catching. We kept 10 Brown Trout for the trip and I won big fish for Trout Camp. I also had the Grand Slam!
