A Day On The White

Wow, what a beautiful, summer-esque day we had here in New England today!  I decided to take advantage of the sunny, 70° cloudless day to try to hook into some fish on the White River.  Unfortunately, by the time I got out in the afternoon, the wind had picked up quite a bit.  I ended up driving farther upstream and finding a few spots that weren’t too windy.

After all was said and done, I didn’t catch any fish today.  There were bugs out, and especially more towards the evening (although I had to leave before I saw any fish come up to the hatch), so I’m not too sure as to why the fish weren’t interested.  Oh well, so it goes – I still had a nice few hours on the river, and days like today don’t come around often enough.

Part of the lower section of the White River.  It was really windy here.

After driving a little while longer, I found myself at this lovely spot.  Unfortunately, not too much fish activity.

I mean common.  There’s got to be fish along that seam.

Beautiful.

Frustrated.  But it’s nice out.  So it’s alright.

The last spot I checked out.  I fished a little bit below here, and saw a pretty good hatch coming off.  The fish, however, were not interested.

It would have been nice to have caught a fish, but I’m still trying to figure it all out.  Plus, fishing isn’t all about catching fish (as long as you’re catching fish).  In any case, it’s certainly a great excuse to spend hours at a time outside!
