Outing: 11DEC2022.

We’ve had a lot of rain here in the past few days which causes havoc with our fishing. I wasn’t really feeling like getting out today but I have a reel I wanted to test. Zip has been suffering from cabin fever since he hasn’t been going to the trout ponds with us, so we headed to the river. Prospects for catching fish weren’t high but we decided to give it a go anyway.

2019 Shimano Vanquish C2000S. A GREAT reel!

Normally this time of year the river is about 6 to 6.5ft but was a little over 8ft today.

We just let Zip do his thing. He burned off a ton of energy and slept the whole way home.
The river was murky so we decided not to chance trying to cross it.
Finally found some calmer water.
Cabin fever- Exhibit A
Ended up picking up 4 bags of trash.

As expected, we caught nothing. It was a cool, damp and dreary day but it sure beats working. With the river level being up like it was, we didn’t try crossing to access more area to fish. We’ll get them next time! Cheers
