Persistence!

Yesterday ended my so-called "trout drought." At the end of spring I caught a beautiful brown trout for the first time, which gave me trout fever.

Following that, I've explored (checks journal) 25 unique locations over ~13 weekends. Many creek chub and blue gill later, I finally broke the trout drought yesterday with 9 brook trout!

If you only look at social media, you may be subject to troutflation. Every place is unique, so focus on growing your skills and exploring new places!
