Really like these last two pics. So often throughout most of my adult life, when seeing scenes like these I was holding a fly rod in hand and distracted by the need to "read the water" for trout. That's the thing about flyfishing for trout. Its almost a given that you will be spending some time in a beautiful place. I did always, just stop, look around, and take it all in. However, when you are holding a flyrod in hand, trout are a huge distraction.

I fished lots of little creeks in western Washington similar to that last one(but not AI enhanced.) Shorts, tennis shoes, a collapsible spinning rod and my bicycle stashed in the brush somewhere. Nine-inch cutthroat were “big.” Treble hook cut to single and barb pinched for easy release.

Sounds a lot like my younger days long before I took up flyfishing. Back then we kept everything we caught. Some splitshot an Eagle Claw hook with a worm, salmon egg, or a grasshopper. Caught lots of browns, brookies or stocked rainbows. Back at camp a slab of butter and a wedge of lemon got wrapped in foil then into the fire for 5-7 minutes. Those were the days.
