First Brown Trout Of The New Year

I went out and prospected for trout in the muddy flows that were set loose due to the 40 degree heat wave we are currently having here. It was slow going with the level of mud in the system and water up high, but I worked a hole where I could just feel a fish should be laying and then lightning erupted on the end of the line. The leech was good enough to entice my first brown trout of the year.
