After my bride suggested I go fishing today, I took a pleasant drive through
the green California foothills to get first to the M... River which proved too high and muddy, then looped around another 10 miles back towards home to the T ... River. There I found a very sparse baetis hatch and one spot with a few, sporadic, risers. I caught a single, but lovely, rainbow trout. I didn't even try for more, choosing to relish the one, my good fortune getting to meet him, and a short walk along the water, afterwards. He was quite the gentleman, gingerly sipping a TrustyMusky floating in the film, then fighting in the spirited manner one expects from a wild trout. He measured right at 14" I won't mention that I did all this in shirt sleeves and at some risk of getting sunburn, out of respect for those of you living through blizzards and ice storms G |

Next trip is to a Jetboat run on the Rogue, and thinking of a few steelhead. Did look beautiful today. But since I have class on Wed and Thursday can not do the fishing thing then. Did look at Shadow Cliffs on the way home and thinking of taking the float tube to the ponds. Starting a new class in Art welding on Wed and the guitar class on Thursday seems to be not as good as the lower level class I took last semester. I at least take advantage of my tax dollars for the junior college system. |

Next trip is to a Jetboat run on the Rogue, right above the La Grange old bridge .... it was very slow, and I've heard the river is really hurting from poaching and water flow problems, but it was nice to be out My inlaws used to live in Or. basically right on the river. The Rogue is a cool river if a lot bigger than my normal choices ... enjoy |
