June is known among the angling community as the Sweet of The Year. Water conditions have improved from spring’s cold and high runoff from snow melt. Water temperatures have stayed in the 50 degree range leading to an increase in aquatic life.

River anglers find a cherished spot on their favorite piece of moving water. Wading into the river and feeling the power of the water brings a sense of calm and anticipation. Lengthening the line for the first cast makes the reel purr. The whoosh, whoosh of the rod as the line moves forward and backward, loading the rod.
