LA FAMILLE A PERDUE


An invite to fish a new river and maybe a chance to hook a really large trout was just too tempting to turn down. My friend had photos to back up the possibility that even a stranger to the area might get lucky and land a citation fish. The e-mail contained a description of the area and the conditions that one might encounter, along with instructions to bring some footwear suitable for navigating slippery rocks and muddy banks. It also advised the use of at least a seven weight unless I wanted to take home a four piece rod when the original was just a three.
