This was my first time fishing the Spring Mills Trout Tourney. I must say I had a great time. The people there were very friendly. We arrived at the club house Friday around noon. After registering we were offered some good homemade ham popeye. They answered any questions you had. Me and my fiance then went out and scouted the stream. It was low and clear but had some nice deep riffles and holes. After we picked out some nice spots we waited and watched them stock. They floated almost all the fish which was nice and spread them out. I helped out carrying some buckets to the floats and the couple spots we bucket stocked. Then it was time for the waiting the game. We set up where we were going to fish. Met a lot of nice people while waiting. As 7 am approached a lot of anxious anglers waiting for the siren to sound. Saturday turned out to be a good day with my fiance landing two tags and I landed 4. We met some really cool guys also. Hats off to Dan and Jake really good guys and I can not wait to fish with them again. Everyone was laughing and have a good time on Saturday. You could barely tell that the starting temp was around freezing. Saturday wrap up I caught 4 tags worth 75 total, My fiance caught 2 tags worth 40 total and my buddy Ron caught 2 tags for a total of 20. The first day totals saw 61 percent of the tags caught. It was a good day. Ending day one the big fish was a 20 incher. Going into Sunday there was 146 tags left with the 500 dollar and 250 tags still out there. Also two big fish that could beat the 20 incher. First cast of the morning I caught another tag. Then the guy below me caught one. I later lost a couple more tags I really need to tie my knots better on my trout magnets. While sitting there people from the club were walking around asking for suggestions to improve the tourney. You can not ask for a nicer tourney. My fiance and me had a blast and left with a total of 7 tags for a total of 140 dollars. The best part was the friends we made. Great people, lots of fun and memories that last a lifetime. That is what it is all about. Ill be posting picture either today or tommorrow from this tourney. I
