today was first day of the hatchery.i left the house there was 4.5 inches of snow on the ground and still snowing heavy.state and town roads were a mess,i could only go 15-20 miles an hour.when i got into plainfield it was raining.it rained through out the whole first period.they stocked alot of 6-9 inch fish along with some big breeders.just about any fly would work,but black seemed to call on the breeders.this year was the best for non-stop action thoughout the whole period,.i got to tell ya,my arm is very tired,and sore.i landed 5 fish over 5 lbs,had another heavy fish but broke the hook,and countless small fish.i had the camera,but it was raining hard.and didnt want it to get wet.we will see what sunday brings
