    When you arise in the morning, think of what a
    precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think,
    to enjoy, to love.

    Caught this micro on the first cast.

    All trout were in slow water.



    19 to hand. Many short hits.

    Friday Trip Report

    Wanted to get out while streams were still in good shape.

    Hard to find a fishing partner on a weekday.

    Was fishing close to the road today because I was flying solo. The wife gets nervous when I go alone and wants me close to the vehicle.


    The sun got high quickly and the bigger trout got lock jaw. I landed 22 browns with nothing over 14 inches.


    I hit another stream that was really close and not far from the road and caught another 7 dinks.

    Trout were in fast water today for the first time of the year.

    I know the weather is good this weekend but I have been fishing during the week these days with my wife's car to avoid claim jumpers.

    Fished from 2pm to 6:30pm. Had to sit often. No endurance.


    Second cast.

    Had one ferocious hit that nearly tore the rod out of hand.

    Was surprised i had no hook up with such a freight train.



    27 to hand.
