I've been too busy with work, Trout Unlimited, writing (new work), family this past week to get some reasonable words on this page. Hopefully some pictures will suffice.

| Fished a wild brook trout stream with a few buddies. Found lots of perfect Brookies. Some larger than this. |
That brookie, special man.
ReplyDeleteYes. Very special.
DeleteLove the name on the yellow flower. A big follower of kids baseball. Watch the LL World Series every year. And opening day would be combat fishing at it's finest.
ReplyDeleteSince I was introduced to Striper fishing the blooming of forsythia have taken on a whole new meaning.
DeleteNice pics! Love the brook trout.
ReplyDeleteI'll post some additional Brook Trout photos when I get a chance to write a bit. They're lovely in this stream.
DeleteThat brookie is a perfect little gem- cant wait to see more of those photos!
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteStripers longer than your arm! Brook trout smaller than your pinky!
ReplyDeleteVariety. Spice. Life.
Amen.
