My main goal is just to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Last year I got out over 60 times and landed over 300 fish. For me it's mostly about getting out and turning my mind off... fishing is the ultimate "mindfulness" activity for anyone else who is into that kind of thing. I try to get out every weekend, it helps turn off my busy mind.
A couple of things I'd like to try for the first time this year... fly fishing for pike. I'd also like to catch my first walleye... sadly, there a species I've never really targeted, and when I've had the chance to catch them, never had any luck other than catching some pike. There's some irony in the fact that I've caught quite a few golden trout, one of the rarest in the province, and yet never caught one of the most common fish on the prairies, and I grew up in southern AB and I'm originally from southern Saskatchewan.
