Today was the opening day of Trout season in Pennsylvania. Hit Darby Creek in Delaware County with 3 of my High School/College buddies. We've been doing it for years now, and it always makes for a good excuse to get together and see each other again.
It was a brisk 35 degrees - certainly not freezing - but not too warm either when you're wading in waist high water. Anyway, fishing started at 8AM, and we all saw some nice action. I stuck to using inline spinners (Mepps XDs, Fish Creek Armadillos, & Weaver Lures), while my buddies varied their approach on the more "natural side"; corn, wax worms, etc...
A good time was had by all, as we talked about old times, caught up on each other's lives, as well caught our limits (I actually played catch & release after a while as my limit was caught quickly) but alas, forgot to bring my camera so no pics this time. Probably for the better - none of us caught any trophies, but a handful of nice chunky 'bows were thrown in the makeshift creel for eating. It's the only day of the season I keep them, after opening day, they all go back in the water for others to enjoy.
I'm going to try and hit a similar spot tomorrow AM as well; if I do go, will bring the camera and take some pics.
