One of the first things any angler that fishes rivers or streams in waders must learn is ...

After a long winter with little or no fishing most fly anglers can hardly wait to get out on the stream to cast their flies. Early season trips involve more than just fishing, there are flies that were invented at the vise to be field tested, wader repairs to be checked, fly lines to be stretched, and knots to relearned. While conditions may not be ideal, it matters little, (as long as the wader repair was successful). Getting out early in the year just as things start to unlock from winter's icy grip is a wonderful way to spend a spring day. Getting back into the rhythm of casting the fly and walking the stream is reward in itself, even if conditions aren't perfect. As long as the temperature is above freezing and the wind isn't howling the early season angler stands a good chance at hooking some fish.
