Farmington River Fishing

Went out fishing today with my brother. Brought the radio along and listened to the return of the Rocket and the Yankees win. It really doesn't get much better than that.

Here's the first spot we hit. Pretty calm section of the river. Nothing bit at all. Kinda sucked because there was river grass that kept getting caught on the hooks. :



I cropped out a section of the picture above for this. I love cropping.



Here's Kyle fishing the second spot on our Farmington River tour. This place was just a little ways down the path in the first two pictures.

We stuck around this spot for about an hour and caught nada. Not even a bite. So we decided to hit the road and go a bit farther down the river to another spot. Maybe a little more action elsewhere.

Here's our fishing whip.



On to the third spot! This spot on the river has a pretty strong current. Better luck here.

Kyle...



This spot was nice because there is a little rock island that juts out into the river.



The arsenal.



Kyle caught a pretty big rainbow trout. Go Kyle.



I was totally psyched for him because a few minutes earlier he had a monster on the line and he got it all the way in and the stupid thing fell off the hook as he was taking it out of the water. It was kinda funny to watch him try to catch it once it hit the water.

Anyways, here he is with his catch.



He was so happy.



So, needless to say, it was a friggin' awesome day. I really love nothing more than doing things with that kid. My brother is the best. I'm a pretty lucky guy to have him.
