good haul  Its an early season

I have 2 of the 25 and 1 of the 30   really like those reels  I went to Plueger since the new Mitchells have been a disappointment

I didn't do much in the way of fishing (a "haul" of just 2 perch and 2 sunfish after about an hour or so on the water this evening), but two friends and I were successful on our first foraging expedition of the season earlier today.

We picked a lot of ramps (which we expected) and even a small amount of fiddleheads (which was a surprise for so early in the season), as well as Japanese knotweed shoots (taste like rhubarb) and various assorted greens.

I also saw a bald eagle (although that was while I was fishing Fish Pond later on).

You're welcome, and yes I cant complain.  The houstatonic near me is a bit of a sleeper fishery for smallmouth south of me and north the trout fishing is solid.  Less development than the farmington which is nice.
