Greetings Compleat Anglers! And just like that the weather has given us a brief glimpse of the spring season ahead. Warmer temps over the last week have made angling more pleasant, have spurred the trout from their winter sluggishness, and, in our local area at least, have allowed the stocking trucks to make their first forays out to local rivers.

As always this time of year, make sure to brush up on your early season regulations as there are typically more limitations this time of year, especially on more crowded fisheries.
