Sure it's a labor of love, but still....


Sunil it's not that bad honestly...I'm averaging 50 or so per day when I can fish. That's maybe 3 hours time. It'll slow down now that the water is warming up but we've already taken just a shade over 400 out this year. I likely won't break 1000 but I'm sure going to enjoy trying!

I don't know if that's the right number...my goal is to fish them until they're not nearly as easy to catch, then stop and re-assess next spring. I haven't been home in a couple of weeks so not sure how the fishing is now, but as of the last time I tried earlier this month I pulled out 24 keepers in maybe 90 minutes.
