Life Is Good

Ted Kirkpatrick and I fished yesterday from 1:00pm until 3:30pm
The sun was bright and high in the sky. We both landed about
10 each.

Bruce Ristow and I went out today for 2 hours. Bruce showed me some water on a stream
I already fished. Upstream a ways. I had fished the area 3 years ago and dismissed the
area as too shallow and narrow for good fishing.

The last two floods had carved out some nice holes and the beavers also helped our cause.

The blue bells are in full bloom. The below flower is unknown to me but beautiful.

It was Bruce's area so it was appropriate that Bruce caught the 2 biggest trout.

I lost a brown almost this long just before Bruce landed this one.

We saw 5 brook trout over 14 inches and were stunned to see a pair around 17 inches follow one of Bruce's retrieves.

Bruce's big brookie of the outing wouldn't hold still long enough for a good close up.

We both landed over 25 trout each in 2 hours.
