April means shaking off the shrouds of winter and getting back out on the water in earnest. Two casting events occured in April this year, both annual events that I always eagerly anticipate attending: the Michael & Young Spey Clave in Chilliwack and the Trout Waters Fly & Tackle Cast Away Day at Sutherland Park in Kelowna. It's casting only ay the Specy Clave, but if it's warm in April there are big carp swimming around in the shallow bay at Sutherland Park. I learned my lesson a few years ago: bring flies!
