I went to the Westfield River today. Windy and water at a chilly 38 degrees. No bumps or strikes.

Sometimes the trout are on. Sometimes they’re not. That’s fly fishing.

But, it was fun to fish in Cummington, MA, for the first time. The Westfield really is a special place and it is a beautiful river. I then ventured to the Chesterfield Gorge area, which is one of my favorite areas. The water was rolling along at a good clip and was a distinct olive green.

I was the only angler out there at both spots. Very peaceful.
