Strange Fishing Opener - 2021

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.
