Wife came along today and took photos.
Fished for 2 hours 16 to hand
My third slam of the year.
went out this morning. It was hard to find clean water. Found it on my 4th choice.
15 browns to hand and nothing over 14 inches. Odd part of it was this use to be one of my most productive brookie streams. I discovered gill lice in it three years ago. Wonder if that had anything to do with it.
sorry no photos
Fished for 3 hours this morning.
10 to hand.
Ranging from 12 inches to 21 inches.
Very nice, I wish that Browns were as eager and easy to find here, your streams remind me of my old home waters in New Brunswick CANADA, except they hold only Brookies.
As in the Army, I have never had a bad day Fly fishing, some damn uncomfortable days but never a bad one!
Everyone must believe in something and I believe in Fly Fishing and Fly Tying and believe I will

Last fall Steve Skoronski talked me in to coming out of retirement as a guide. I donated a trip to his brother Ron's Foundation. It is called Forward Lymphoma. The trip was raffled off and a nice donation by Fritz Durst won the trip.
Fritz is the owner of Fritz Durst Agency, American Family Insurance near Madison.
Fritz and his son Jeremy came and fished with me today. It is Jeremy's 22nd birthday today. Fritz let his son have every hole first and Jeremy made the most of it. The day was cut short by bad weather but the 2 managed to catch about 2 dozen trout.

This outing is my very last donated trip and last guide trip "EVER". It is a worthy cause and I hope some other active guide in the area picks up the ball with a donation to this worthy cause.
