First trip

Went on my first fishing trip of the year today. My buddy and I left at 6 this morning and it was 4 that's a little cold. We got to our first river to fish and it had ice floating and could see 6 rainbows laying in it with the water low and clear. We caught 4 of the 6 so thats not to bad for those conditions. Next river we got to has ice on it and we found a whole with about 60 or 70 trout laying in it so we tried and tried but couldn't get the fish to come out from under the ice to catch them managed 2 there at the end. Wasn't long after we got there I looked down river and saw a bald eagle flying our way he flew down to the water and picked up a fish. He went back and sat on a limb bout 50 yrds from us for 2 hrs just watching us. We finally left there about 1:30 and went to another river to fish for a few minutes before dark and on the way there saw another bald eagle on the first river we fished. Got to the hole its alot deeper than the other rivers we fished so we couldn't see the fish laying out there so we fished and I caught 3 more there. So after all it turned out to be a good day fishing we caught 9 between the two of us it was a lot of fun and got to see two bald eagles.
