Hopkins and other waters

Well ice is out and we put have put the boat in a few times at Hopkins, now listen we are hard core fisherman and not one to be skunked at Hopkins, but twice now, no fish, no strikes and ZERO on the finder. Water temp is 45 degrees and high. We hit bottom, top, middle and even hugged shore - ...brooks have a produced a few small trout.

Night Fishing

As we searched for smelts, I stopped at every brook, even non smelt ones just to check things out. And once again we forgot a fishing pole. Every brook we stopped at had trout holding in its waters, nice trout. Mike was shocked "I didn't know they swam at night!" What the hell do you think they do, sink or float, actually trout and salmon prefer to eat and swim at night.

The Smelt Trip

Well we made the trip down Route 9, Mike, Gramp, Zach and me in search of "smelts". We found trout and splake in every brook, a few pickeral, moose and moose, but no smelt - only gated roads.
