Just wondering.

Only started trying at this game back in Dec 17... Zero as expected (4 trips), maybe one tug - hard to know when you’ve never caught one. Despite that I love getting out on the PNW rivers for the spectacular scenery and (only during winter I guess) solitude.
All the rivers are closed now right, unless I can get across to the OP again?

No, the OP is closed. All rivers.

I caught 8 or 9, all on the Trinity River in CA. Half swingin and half bobber lobbin. I managed to catch fish on every trip out this year. My best laid plans to hit the better quality, but tougher fisheries on the coast didn't materialize in Feb-March and now the season is done.

My final one, #18, was on the bank - I hadn't brought a net because I was fussing with a new line, not out there intending to catch fish - and while I tried to figure out what to do with the rod, the hook came out and it flopped back in before I could dive on it. Some people think the judges should award me a half-fish for that, but alas, the judges thought differently. :(

If you touch the leader, it counts.
