Ironside

Well, we finally managed to get out on Ironside. A year ago, we'd be 2 weeks late, but a cooler, more typical spring is here and we'll take what we can. The day was ssssllloooow when looking around the lake while we were there. We saw 2 fish landed between 7 or 8 others on the water. A few hits and bumps here and there. We stuck it out and landed a few nice fish. Friends called to make sure we were still going to be there when they arrived from Red Deer. The day had been cold, cloudy, sleet, showers, with little sun. Our friends arrive to a clear spell, the wind died, sun came out and the fish turned on for not quite an hour. The working folks got a huge break, so good on them, everyone needs a pleasant surprise like that. :)
