While the creeks weren’t packed last Saturday during Mentored Youth Fishing Day, believed to be because of cold and high waters, Mason Bittner stuck it out and ended up with these two lunkers! The first day of fishing season is close to Christmas Day with Mason. His favorite activity has been trout fishing, since his father taught him how. The rainbow measured at 18.75 inches and the golden at 19 inches. Opening day of fishing season begins on Saturday morning, April 4.
