Last Fish Before the Flu

31 January I found a school of yellow perch and landed one small one. Then a few days later I came down with the full blown influenza.

3 weeks later I finally went back to try fishing again. And caught nothing,

This time I saw no swirls. But that previous day before the 31st, early in the day I saw lots of swirls and wakes. I spooked everything. So I came back twice on the 31st. I was sneaky. But still not sneaky enough. I had two tugs but one I got.

Winter fishing is often slow but you just never know what might happen.
