Went trout fishing after work last Friday. Luckily my buddy was an old hand at bass fishing. The trout fishing sucked but the bass fishing rocked. Fun, technical fishing from a float tube, casting into the debris close to shore. Those fish can fight, but sometimes they give up a little too easily. My first really successful bass fishing trip.

Got up the next morning and headed to my local shop that was having a rare sale on rods. Cast both the Sage and G Loomis 5 weights but the Sage just felt better to me. Picked up a VT2 at 25% off. This weekend is my last chance to fish with it as the next 2 weeks are booked. After that though, it's RIVER time! Yeah, baby! Gonna be a good year.

p.s. Already have fishing plans for 3 days on The Lochsa in Idaho this August, followed up with 3 days on The Boulder and possibly a day on the Missouri in Montana this September. Yeeehaaaaaa!
