The trout season 2009 - 2010 is ended today.
I actually didn't go trout fishing this season as much as I normally do. I felt that I needed to chase new targets on new waters to expand my fishing horizon, so I was spending more time on saltwater with new friends.
Having said that, it was still a good trout season at the end, for catching some fine fish and spending quality time with a friend before he's gone back to Japan.
Actually it was good to stay away from trout fishing for while because it not only gave me opportunities to fish wonderful water of Walpole and Moore River for the first time, but it also gave me a chance to bring back a spark into trout fishing.
Going back to trout water after spending time on salt flats was really refreshing. Casting into a tight spot and watching a beautiful trout coming up to my dry fly. Every thing, that I thought of being predictable, has become interesting all over again.
Thank you, fish, and I hope I will have another wonderful experience and learn new things in the next season.
鱒釣りは明日から九月まで禁漁になります。
今年はWalpole遠征などソルトウォーターの釣りをする機会が多く、例年よりも鱒釣りに行く回数が少なかった。それでも友達と一緒に川へ行けたし、良い魚もそれなりに釣れたので、良いシーズンだったと思います。
鱒釣りからちょと離れていたおかけで、毛針の流し方や合わせなど、腕がちょっと鈍った所もありましたが、その代わりに気持ち的には充電期間があった事で釣り自体がとても新鮮に感じました。クロダイなどのソルトの魚も良いですが、やっぱり鱒程きれいな魚はいないと改めて思えました。
今年つれてくれたお魚さん、どうもありがとう。来年も良いシーズンでありますように。
