Headed out early Friday morning to hit a couple creeks I haven't fished in awhile.
Breakfast of champions:
Met this guy along the way. He'll be a nice one next year:
First creek was a good-sized one:
It's full of these:
And these:
Unexpected company. These things are spreading out all over the place now, good to see them doing well:
Mmmm....tree limbs.....
Fished a couple hours and caught a bunch of good fish. I hooked one really nice brown about 16", but he quick-released himself when I was reaching for him with the net, so no pics of him. He put up a heckuva fight on the three-weight in the strong current, so I didn't begrudge him his freedom. I know where he lives now.
Sun is getting high now, time to head up a tributary.....
