There used to be a time when the Fishing Opener was on a specific date. Now, with more scientific appraisal of fishing, there are certain species, certain bodies of water that are fair game at all different times. But for Strange Fish - bottom feeders and glorified minnows - it's pretty much "meh, whatever".
So on an early April day it was my first fishing trip of the year. A warm lazy time to sit on the river bank.
I caught some fish including a couple of these guys. Alas, it seems to once again be a silver redhorse, a somewhat uncommon species but one that I caught last fall upstream a ways. So no new species. Alas.
Give a man a fish he'll eat for a day. Teach him to fish he'll eat for a lifetime. Teach him to bottom fish and he'll just sit in the sun and drink Mountain Dew.
