After hours and hours twisting Gene's arm to go fishing with me on the weekend he finally gave in. It seems once you retire you only fish during the week unless I bug you for hours, ok maybe minutes. So off to Davis Lake Gene and I went around 5:30 in the morning. We get on the water a little after 8 and start heading to our first of many spots. It took about 10 minutes for the wind to start up and it never let off. As a matter of fact by the end of the day surf was up and the fish were still biting. Had a great cold windy day on the water. Once you found the trout they were more than willing to bite. I ended my day with close to about 20 thanks to Gene letting me hit a spot no one had been on all day thanks to the hunters that were there earlier. Once they left we headed over and with the wind blowing 13+ with gusts to around 15 and higher we hit the flats. I was catching nice trout in water less than 3 feet deep in howling cold wind. It was freaking awesome. I had a couple back to back catches and lost plenty of others. Despite the cold wind we had a great day, so glad we made it out before the real storm comes in.

I call this a flatnosed rainbow. This special fish fought very hard and flew through the air more than once.
