Wanted to go for a ride. So the wife and I jump in the truck and headed to the refuge. of course threw in some poles just in case. Lots of water and no ice! Picked out spot to brave the wind. 15 minutes in my light weight rod doubled over and started ripping drag. First cat of the year wasn't a bad one. 28 incher! Tried a few More spots for a few minutes. Got cold so decided to drive the tour route before heading home. Lots of water! Great to see! Got a late start and didn't start fishing til almost 11 this morning and was home by 2. Nice to feel a decent tug.
