I recently required knee surgery to remove glass from my knee,  which has sidelined me for a little while.

However,  I have been making good progress with mobility and  range of motion.  Today,  my wife , our labs,  and myself  hiked over 2 miles with good results!

This evening,  I was able to skate a stimulator to catch a couple of fallfish  while remaining on the bank of a local river.  I’ll take it even though this particular river has some of the biggest fall fish around! It might even hold a future state record?

Since more rain is coming tonight, I’ll consider today a little win!

I’ll be up and wading  very soon,  hopefully,  fingers crossed! This spring has been very favorable for Eastern CT streams – cool weather, especially nights, and lots of rain! Hatches of everything are ongoing. I hope this gets our streams through later June for safe trout fishing.  It is definitely a benefit that the state  finished up spring trout stocking a little later than usual in part due to the same weather delays that benefit Eastern Connecticut. 

Another little win! I’ll take every little one I can grab!
