April – The Month of Brook Trout
4/1/2011

Well, not sure about French Creek Freddie’s powers of prognostication as I look out the window this April’s Fools day. At the West Virginia Wildlife Center on Groundhog Day, Freddie called for an early spring and maybe it is coming after this snow. Or maybe this was his idea of an April Fool’s trick. After all, I have always heard that if March comes in like a lamb it will go out like a lion and certainly today was a lion.
April is probably the time when our bait fishermen have a little edge as the trout will readily take bait or lures of some sort while shunning the mayflies that they haven’t come to recognize yet.
