When the temperature starts to rise and the water starts to thaw, you know trout season is just around the corner. Grab your rods, bait, fishing license and head to your favorite fishing spot because this year trout season started on April 3rd. Many students around the county fish during trout season, so The Squire interviewed WAHS senior, James Swanson, about his experiences and tips for success during trout season. Swanson shared with us that he has been fishing since he was three years old, and it was his family who got him started at such a young age “…because it runs in the family to fish and hunt.”
With spring comes the sounds of birds back from winter migration. One easily distinguished sound from a bird, although not migratory, is the gobble of the Eastern Wild Turkey. With gobbles ramping up, it means one thing – spring turkey season is here. For new hunters all the way up to the seasoned veteran, The Squire is here to help. We got in touch with local Scandia tom killing legend and Eisenhower High School alumni, Paul Swanson, to learn more about preparing for spring gobbler season.
Although many sports and activities have been affected by Covid in the last year, spring sports has had the worst of it. The teams lost their entire 2020 season due to the Pandemic, and therefore lost a lot of critical time to play and improve. This has not held either the softball, or girl’s track team back from having seasons to remember.
