Tomorrow is April 1, “April Fools Day”. What would be a good blog post for that occasion?
I thought about telling some unbelievable story, maybe sharing some doctored photo. Sorry, I am hesitant to do that because on the ole interwebs you never know how some people will take things. I have posted stuff like that before and had more than one person go off. Apparently, pointy-headed fisheries biologists are not allowed to have a sense of humor.

If you fish, you have probably heard a whopper or three–stories that are maybe a little hard to swallow. However, isn’t that part of the reason we like to fish? Isn’t that the very essence of fishing? The unknown, the unbelievable? Sharing those stories with other anglers is a big part of our fishing culture. If you are like me, you like listening to them. Telling them too.
That reminded me to mention something I have before, but it has been a while. . . .

I suspect this is much closer to the truth:
Hope you get a chance to get in the field or on the water this weekend. Hope you get to make up some new stories, hope you get to listen to some too.
GO FISH!
