1975 Fishing Report Archive -- Fishin' with Rick Holt

At some point in my childhood my dad and I began fishing together. I don't recall exactly how long ago it was when we got serious about our fishing, but by 1966 when I was 16 years old I began keeping a fishing log. What follows here is my ninth  year of record keeping -- the 1975 fishing log (there was no fishing log for 1974, and I really don't think I did any fishing at all that year with college and other interests occupying my time.)  My records for this year consist of only 3 reports in May. Since I was pretty meticulous about keeping records I don't think I did much fishing this year either, though I don't really recall now as I look back about 30 years later. I was in college during this year and doing a lot of backpacking and bicycling with the Terrapin Trail Club.

And so ends my old fishing log. It warms my heart to realize that this last fishing day with Dad was such a memorable day. We never fished together again as far as I recall as our lives went in different directions. I soon graduated from college, got a job, got married and life goes on.....

I resumed my fishing logs when I started my webpage in 1998 and have continued them since then as an on-line fishing journal.
