Fish On

One of my favorite things to do for relaxation is to go fishing. In my youth, my father took me to the James River Bridge in Richmond Virginia to seek out the elusive cat fish. We fished at the crack of dawn or after midnight utilizing a variety of baits. I can remember the profound effect of being introduced to my first glimpse of nature and the calming effect of the water in addition to the sudden exhilaration of the strike. With the pole bent and the line tight, one would yell “fish on”, a statement that to me represents the true meaning of happiness.

Over time I have come to love all types and styles of fishing. I’m often asked “what time of day is the best time to go fishing?” Generally the best time to go is when fish appear to be more active, during sunrise and sunset and also during periods of a full moon. Look for areas where fish are feeding on hatch flies like caddis and mayflies. Perhaps, the best time to go fishing is whenever you can!  Cheers
