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!!!!
