Finally Fishing
Today, I finally realized a dream I have had since we first moved here, to our property with a creek as the back border, a creek that holds Brookies and Brownies. My waders and boots arrived the ot
her day, won from an Ebay auction from a woman, who I assume, had a husband/boyfriend who bought her complete flyfishing stuff that she had no intention of ever using.
I hit the creek this morning, with my self-tied flies, (a couple from Daddy), and my so
n manning the camera. I managed to scare 3 trout from their hidy-holes, snag a couple of trees, rocks, and etc. No one tried to bite on my nice nymph, who's body was tied from fur from our bunny Peter. (And I even matched the hatch, as the mayfly I swatted from my arm was black, the same color as our bunny.) Never the less, I enjoyed my time in the creek, managed not to slip, realized I need warmer socks, and saw several HUGE paw prints in the clay-ish mud farther up the creek (we're talking black bears here, they've been spotted on the creek, yikes!...and they like the trout, too! Undoubtably better at fishing than me!)
Anyway, my new waders and boots feels awkward, but I think in time, they will as comfortable as my ski boots and ski pants.

Realizing one's dreams is very important. Congratulations! Have a great time. Invite me over for trout sometime. Not catching it, just eating. I'll bring the wine. No, maybe you should make that, too. How about some salad? Yep, I can make salad. And dessert.
