Yesssss! It’s almost here! Trout season officially opens this Sunday, April 1<\/b> throughout New York State. I’m sure if you’re reading this you’re probably just as excited as I am.<\/p>\n
I don’t even know where I’m going to fish yet. I’ve been going back and forth between heading to a river with a few friends as if it were a holiday or something, and hiking in to my favorite little stream by myself to try to land a few brookies in peace and quiet. I guess I’ll decide Saturday night or Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
I’ve got some new gear in preparation of the season opener<\/b>, and thought I would share with you..
\nMy birthday was a few weeks ago, and all I ask for every year is fishing gear. This year I was given a pair of hip boots<\/b>, a nice lightweight net<\/b>, and a fishing vest<\/b> with more pockets than I know what to do with. But hey, if I have more pockets than I have gear, I guess I’ll just need to get some more gear, right?<\/i><\/p>\n
My girlfriend got me a magnetic release for my net<\/b>, so it can just hang on my back until I’m ready to use it, and if I happen to drop it I won’t have to chase it down the river. Thanks Liz!<\/p>\n
The hip boots are pretty nice, and I’ve always wanted a pair for the smaller streams when I’ll only be in the water up to my knees<\/b>. They have canvas legs that can be folded down when walking\/hiking if need be.<\/p>\n
