East Gallatin – 02.02.10

Had the urge to fish. Drove out to Spains and saw that it was clear, so I jumped in, only to find out that only part of the river was clear, so it was a bit sketchy out there on the ice, not knowing how thick it was and not really being able to tell how deep the water was. I opted to to head up river and went to Penwell. I went up river and ran into a similar problem that I had at Spains, and that was I couldn’t tell how deep the water was since it was slightly off color and the overcast sky did not help seeing the bottom of the river. I ‘fished’ for a while and didn’t catch anything. I don’t know if I am fishing the right areas or the wrong pattern. I think tomorrow I might head to some big water and fish the Madison and see if I have any luck out there.

I just got home and my new wading boots were waiting for me at the door, that and thanks to Netflix I got Clifford Ball disk 2. So now I am going to do some GIS homework and listen to phish in 5.1. Life is good.
