Title: The Good of 2020
Post by: Big J on January 04, 2021, 13:13:05 PM
Goodbye 2020.  Been a weird year but have a lot of good things happen in 2020 to be thankful for.  A lot of good fishing trips with good friends being some of those.  Photo Dump for the best of 2020.

Winter/early spring were fairly normal. Lots of small streams and took the girls out for some fishing.

The worst cicada hatch I've experienced, but still put a few in the boat

Then got into CA (barely) for a bucket list trip.  Perfect timing and unbelievably lucky.  Right in between COVID strict lockdowns and wildfires.  Honestly couldn't of timed it more perfectly.

Not a bad year fishing with family and friends.  Hope 2021 treats me and everyone else just as well in the fishing department.  The rest of the 2020 BS you can keep though.

Looks like you had a great year. I had a pretty good spring and summer fishing. Got busy in the fall and first grandson came week before Christmas so. All and all we had a good year weird as it was.

2020. Sigh.
Theoretically, I should have fished more, but I ended up fishing less.  b';
High waters, damn dam, campsites closed, shad bote closed, SOHO trip canceled, extra careful who I fished with, fill in the blank.
Start to finish.

Nice review.  Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful fish and scenery. I'm betting as the years rush by and your body no longer allows some of those activities, the fish and locations will begin to blur but the images of your children's smiles will be with you forever.
