By Tom Claycomb III | Okay, you’re going to have to show me a little grace on this article. I’ve had to cover pressing topics since January so I haven’t been able to write a peep about fishing since the November/December issue. So I’m going to be like a squirrel running around an acorn tree trying to gather all the acorns in one pass!
Outdoorsmen are over-the-top blessed to live in Idaho. I’ve had some awesome fishing trips before, but this year was truly over-the-top. Let’s cover some of the highlights. Before I start though, let me list a few frustrations. I planned on hitting the crappie 2-3 times per week this spring, fishing for walleye, turkey hunting, and the list went on and on. There were so many good things going on that I didn’t get to hit the fishing as hard as I wanted. I guess that’s not a bad thing – it just seems like there’s not enough hours in the day. I got selected to be one of the writers to tour the Pulsar/Sellmark plant, then hog hunt on their ranch with their thermal gear. How could I turn that down?
