Soft Water

Spring has started to thaw out some of the lakes around the state.  Most of the regular spots still had the hard deck in full force so we went off the beaten path a bit to hit an open stillwater for the first time this year.  Didn't get anything huge today, but for my money there isn't anything like the anticipation stripping your line in anticipation of a huge hit from an aggressive predator.  This time, that predator was a tiger trout.
