Liljoe wanted to fish, again, today so we did. We had a great time on the river and caught many trout each. Nothing really large but sure a lot of fun. They were a mixture of Browns and Rainbows. In one of our posts on here, James Smith stated all he saw were pictures of fish and he wanted to see a “face to the name” so, here is my ugly mug that Joe took. He took the picture because I had a praying mantis on my hat and he just had to have a picture:
Here is just one of the pretty browns we caught:
Here is a picture of one of the rainbows:
Here is looking up the river:

Just wanted to share. We had a good time on the river and did a lot of walking through the woods and wading. Beautiful day and fellowship.
Nice Brookie, Joe!
Warren…I’m a bit jealous you can smoke a pipe while you fish. I do cigars when I fish, cuz the pipe is too heavy to hold with my teeth!
There have been many times while fishing that I decide to fill and light my pipe after making a cast and will have my fly rod under my right arm and have a trout hit and I just turn my upper body to set the hook and finish filling my pipe and light it! When that happens, Joe just laughs and shakes his head. Some times a man just has to do whatever he can to get a strike! There have been several times when the “bite” is slow that I will tell Joe that I know what I have to do to get a strike and I put the fly rod under my arm, get out my pipe and tobacco and before I can get the pipe loaded, I will have a strike and “fish on”!
I am looking forward to your visit and I am hoping and praying that the weather holds and they are not generating during your visit. I have a spot that I want to show you and if all goes well, you should have a great time with dry flies and brown trout! Where Joe and I have been fishing requires a 3/4 mile walk up a road and then through the woods, but, we may not have to go that route if the first area pans out.
