Decided to take a few hours and follow up on a reco of a little brookie blue line; beautiful day and the bit of rain we had recently hopefully put some water back in the streams.

over the river
and through the woods
first stop, old stomping grounds, where the brown trout grow wild
about 1 minute after this pic I’m pretty much horizontal with green water pouring in - there goes the camera, there goes the cell phone. Did end up with a few fish here, including the biggest brown I’ve ever taken on this water (no kidding; really!!) on a CDC & Elk.
The native stream, just down the road, was beautiful; nothing big but lots of brookies, all lit up. It was a winner.
My wife was pretty cool about me ruining the camera; time to shop for a waterproof.
Welcome to the horizontal in the water club. I am glad your damages were limited to equipment. I notice the other day one of the new Motorola smart phones is now water resistant (I originally wrote waterproof but remembered some of my colleagues say the only thing “proof” comes out of a bottle.)
