Hurray! It’s fishing season!
I know you can fish year round but, just because we live in the north doesn’t mean we all like fishing in the winter.
I prefer to get out in the sunshine and on the sandy shores to cast my line.
Or even get out in the canoe and cast a few, as I troll along with the steady river flow.
I enjoy the walk down to the river with my minnow bucket, a snack in a basket and my fishing pole.
