A trout I caught. Jack is holding the fish and I am, of course, taking the photo. Freda, our Chessie, is looking on. |
After fishing clients all week, Jack was excited enough to take me fishing on Sunday. It was REALLY cold in the morning when we launched. Then it drizzled. I rowed for Jack for awhile while we hunted for pike, but the day picked up about 1:00 pm when it cleared intermittently and warmed up. Then it happened; a beautiful mayfly hatch broke loose and so did the feeding trout (and whitefish!). I had one of my best “catching” days ever, even with my very rusty casting skills.
Here are some photos from that day. There are also eagles, geese, Belted Kingfishers, and of course lots of ducks on the river now, too. The first slideshow is from Jack’s camera and is uploaded to our Picasa site. The second is from my camera and is uploaded to my SmugMug site – more photos of the river and birds.
