Contest Time! Getting Ready For Trout…
Spring is here and with that comes trout season! While trout opener is still over a month away, I can’t help but daydream about being able to go out for brookies and browns, without having to travel far from home.
While I plan to get my fly rod out more this year, trout season will always find me tossing spinners. I learned to fish using ultralight gear and tiny spinners. Throw a spinner in the river we used to live near, and you couldn’t keep the brook trout away.
With today being Argo’s birthday (my horse, for those wondering), I’m in a celebratory mood, and it seems the perfect time to do a contest. This one certainly has a trout theme.
The winner will receive a copy of The Orvis Guide to Reading Trout Streams by Tom Rosenbauer. This is an excellent resource for any angler, whether you fish with flies or spinners or worms. I recently finished reading my copy of this book and was amazed at how much I learned. It makes me look at a stream differently and I can’t wait to put this new knowledge to the test.
And if the book isn’t enough, the winner will also be receiving some of my 
favorite spinners. I have written previously about the fantastic spinners made by John Delaney of Fish Creek Spinners. These are great lures and I want to give someone the chance to try them. The winner will get their choice of one the assortment packs of lures that John has put together. You can see the assortment packages by visiting the Fish Creek Spinners store.

I am so in for this!!
I’ll call this post my “I like Argosgirl on FB” post 😉
Did I mention that I am an Argosgirl follower on the Twitter thing?
I’d love one of those nitromites from FCS!
I found you after Brookfield Angler posted this link on his Facebook page. I am always happy to meet people who are enthusiastic about the outdoors. Hope you have a great year on the water. I look forward to following along!
You have two new likes on facebook, a new follower on that twit thing. I will be sure to check out Fish Creek Spinners when I have more time later. Tight lines!
Those Nitromites F671 look good. Love a black & brass/gold spinner, they’re killer for trout, especially in clear water.
Mostly go for bass but I’m hoping to spend more time fishing for trout this year. This contest is awesome thanks!
Sounds good!
We liked you on FB!
