opener reports?

[goblueM]

help a brother out, I was going to make it down near Rushford for opener but then my buddy bailed and a party at my house kept me up too late to make it worth driving down on no sleep.

How was the fishing? Anything hatching? I bet the pressure was nuts given the nice weather...

wish I knew, I was going to fish a stream in north central part of the state, but my neibor had a roofing project, that I got sucked into. there went my day.

we fished the root.caught some nice browns,biggest was about 15".There was some kind of hatch going on later on in the morning and only caught one brown on a floating rapala in that time period.pretty slow but had a good time

I fished the Vermillion yesterday. Nice rapala hatch going on. Caught two 19 inch browns and lost one much larger. Very nice day to get out.

I caught a 21" female brown on a worm yesterday. Lip hooked and released to catch another day. Also caught a 13" rainbow stocker and kept that for the frying pan.

Sunday's catch

Might take my son to the Vermillion after dinner. Check out a new stretch that has been on my mind for a while.

Honestly I spend more time in Western WI but felt compelled to fish MN for the opener. Set a tradition. Now that we have Jan 1 pre-season, perhaps the opener is less of an ordeal? I get to southeast a couple of times each month Jan-Feb, then the first Saturday in March rolls along and I go play in western WI more.
