Calendar of Events for Outdoorsmen

Saturday, March 29th was a good day on the river. We got a late start and didn't hit the water until 10:00 a.m. Nymphing was slow and then the fish started rising. I had only caught one 11" rainbow and then hit a period of activity around noon. I picked up one more rainbow, one brook trout and three browns. One of the browns was 13".

It was a good day on the North Mills River. Nothing great, but a lot of fun and some action. My buddy caught 5 trout also.
