Moving is never easy, especially when one gives up 30
years of memories living in one place. Cathey and I have adjusted well to the
move to Tennessee, living close to all our grandchildren and meeting some
wonderful neighbors in our little subdivision. The only downside to the move
was losing fishing time. I hope to recover some of that lost time in 2017.
As I get older the years seem to pass off faster, which
makes me cherish every fishing trip I
make now. I have been very fortunate with
my health over the years, and I hope I can continue to stay in fairly good
health in the coming years. Sure I have aches and pains like most all of us do
but nothing significant enough to keep me off the water.
One of my first
trips in early March will be fishing Lake
Lindsey
located in
beautiful David Crockett Park in Lawrenceburg.
It is noted for having some super size gills that will kick off my bluegill
quest for 2017. Another lake I plan on wetting some flies in is Laura Hill Lake
located south of Lawrenceburg. This is one of the prettiest lakes I have seen
in middle Tennessee,
high banks, crystal clear water, and noted for super size gills, smallmouth
bass, spotted bass and walleye. As for trout fishing, the Caney will be one-stop
destination. I will be making a number of float trips with my son-in-law on
this beautiful tailrace for the coming year. I will still wade the tailrace below
the dam, but I have come to realize if one is going to be successful fishing
the Caney Fork, you need to float it. I’m looking forward to a successful fishing
season and HOPE ALL YOU GUYS HAVE THE SAME------HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Happy New Year buddy! That lake is beautiful and has Big Bluegils! Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteBill, You'll probably have better luck catching bluegills in your new waters than you'll have in slowing down time but, in any case, good health and good fishing to you in the new year.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the perspective and for the comment---Happy New Year!
Here is too a wonderful and happy and healthy New Year 2017! That is a beautiful lake that you have pictured here. I could see myself walking the bank and stalking some big Bluegills. Alas, I will leave that up too you, Bill.....
ReplyDeleteI await many posts as we follow you through your new fishing season on new waters.
Happy New Year Bill, I'll be waiting to see some slab bluegills and big Caney Fork browns that you will no doubt hook into when things warm up again!
ReplyDeleteBill the best to you in 2017.
ReplyDeleteTake your time out there and enjoy every minute,
