One leaf bud breaking,
new horizons unfolding.
Springs emerging day.
Trout
Fly training
School was in session,
both trout and caster learning
from Marla’s lesson.

Trouting
Relaxing day fishing,
shot to hell while driving home,
in rush-hour traffic.
Trouting
Posting about trout, seems,
when stalking with flies, obscene.
Gone fishing, anyway!
(Ok, cheap excuse for not posting but packing a few days on holiday with activities I don’t usually make time for is lots of fun – and productive in other ways too – is the objective this week. Not that I won’t be posting but it’ll be a little more sporadic.)
No trout were hurt in the research for this post.

It’s the week after “opening day” and time to get out fishing. I never go on opening day, way too crowded, too many non-fishers making their only appearance of the year. Hey, not that I don’t like fishing with others but unless it’s in a canoe, or a boat, I’d rather not be within rod length of each other. Crossed and tangled lines, limited drift, poor etiquette, all sap the enjoyment from the outing. But this weekend? Time to wet a fly, see who,s coming to dinner…
