Very nice.
Very nice.
Where are all of those pictures of stream locations? Don't give up your stream, I guess, but being from Florida, I've got nothing like those. It's a beautiful creek!

Len, I love your pictures of those little streams next to little bluffs. No wonder you love the Driftless.

Hit this stream at first light.
Caught about a dozen. Nothing huge.
Quit after 2 hours.
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.

Len, what leads to such small streams having such large pools? Is it started by beaver dams?
Ed
spring floods and snow run off.

precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think,
to enjoy, to love.

Nice sauger, Len, especially on fly gear! That one looks colored up extra dark, too!
