This morning I snuck out for my first fishing trip in two years. (I cared for my ailing parents until they passed away 8 days apart this spring) Was a mile or so up the river by 6am, first three casts, three trout! Released a few and kept a limit for dinner. it was the first cloudy morning in some time, temp was in the mid 60's. A thunder shower was brewing and trout bite well as the air pressure changes, especially in early morning. As the rocks were wet on the way out it made for good spotting and I picked up a few pieces of agate, pet wood and jaspers on the hike out. A morning spent this way is the best tonic.

The picture with the trout in the front and the scenery in the background is artistic! Adrian

Oh that is a wonderful day, I love fishing and then finding the beautiful rocks is icing on the cake. I have a bit of an edge as we have a pond in our yard stocked with bass and bluegill. I get to fish often and there's nothing like a good fresh fish dinner, but it's even better on a river like that.

Good Job. Suprised there's not more coloration on that brown. Tim

Fossilman, I do love it here. Could have made a much better living elsewhere, but I decided long ago that better living isn't always money...

Tim, actually it is 4 "bows and a brown. it was still low light when I took the photo and the flash washed out the color a bit. The browns will color up in late Sept. before they run. In our rivers, all cutts are catch and release as they are in danger of being pushed out by the non-native species. They are allowed to be harvested in lakes and some mountain streams. Here is what the cuts here look like. (fish at top is a grayling, also only harvested from lakes)
