Great story, Good for that young man, he sounds like the kind of fellow I'd like to go fishing with.

Out at Jefferson Lake in Forest Park for a few hours on Saturday and Sunday, and the trout seemed a little bigger than last year. Weirdly, my first winter trout of the urban trout season ended up being a catfish, and a purring one at that (my first cat on a fly, too). Then my buddy's first trout of the season ended up being a crappie. Neither of us came prepared to keep any, so those guys are still in there. Haven't seen any poaching yet, but it is sure to happen, keep your eyes peeled.
