Photo Gallery: Freshwater Finale

We have now (mostly) passed the breakoff point of when our readers switch out of freshwater mode and dive head first into the salt. But before we laser-focus on the salt, we need to take one more look back at a spring of phenomenal freshwater fishing. And now, as fully-embrace the bring, I want to remind you to take lots of photos and email them to danderson@thefisherman.com with all the pertinent details so that you might see them featured here. Good luck!
