Looking forward to warmer weather...

Looking Forward to Warmer Weather:
I am so very excited for warmer days. I look forward to being able to jump into a river or into an ocean to cool down on a warm day. I always have, and plan to always love water. I love to swim and just relax in it. This is one of the biggest reasons I can not wait for summer. I dream of laying on my back in the ocean, floating, letting the current pull me where it wants to pull me. People everywhere on the beaches, the sun up high beaming down, peace and relaxation.... pure perfection... that sounds so nice right now.

I also look forward to warmer weather for trout fishing! It is odd, I'm not always in the mood to fish, but it hits me in spells, and today, it is on my mind. I want to get to the waters and conquer some fish! What many people do not realize when it comes to fishing, even for trout, is that there is a skill that is required to do it properly. In order to catch trout on a regular basis, rather than just the occasional random fish, one must know where to fish. Fast moving waters are always good, deep holes near fast moving water is always good, and areas with many rocks where the fish can 'bed' is always a good choice also. When trout fishing, I don't like to be fancy, I like to use a simple night crawler (worm). Tip... Cast your line in, let it sit for a few seconds, slowly reel the line in, stop for a second or so, slightly nudge the line, let it sit, and repeat the process. You will, catch a fish. Another good idea? Use a small to medium sized bait holder hook for best results (Using a hook too large can result in the bait simply being ate off, and using a hook too small can result in the hook being swallowed by the fish causing the fish to be unreleasable).

Another reason that I am looking forward to warm weather is HIKING! I love to go on random hiking adventures. It is cool to get out into the wild and just roam in places where you never have been before, plus, it is healthy! :) Double Goodness.
