Brave New World Of ???????

woke up this morning to take fish on the fly, or spinner whichever works best. just so happens the spinner produced more fish than the ole fly rod but the fly rod gives a bit more of a thrill when a nice 12" plus Rainbow trout takes the nymph. nothing can compare to a nice mountain stream on any day the trout are biting. 7 trout all over 12" thought for a split second hey this looks like food and the fight was on. (all fish were release unharmed save a nasty hook hole somewhere around their mouths). it may seem cruel to fish and then release but trout learn quick what not to do, so next time a fisherman will have to use a different lure and approach to catch these fish again. there was a happy mid-sized raccoon walking about the banks of the trout stream quizzically looking in my direction to see if dangers was about and deciding he had no worries stayed around a bit to watch a strange man waving a stick at some fish before departing for the rest of his journey for the day. for some reason i am unable to insert a picture for today's post so maybe i will edit later.
