.....to another Trout season. Met up with Mike Makela on
Valley Creek to do some pre-production practice at the site of our
soon-to-be film debut. Both of us managed a half-dozen or more trout, none
huge, but some quite respectable for the little stream. Weather was
near-perfect, if a little breezy at times. We had a good time stumbling
along the banks and fishing, with a few risers and others taken from well
below the surface.
Ended with a fine Lager, and a quick toast to another
season, just underway.

p.s. We still have no real clue what we are attempting to
put on film, Wolfgang.....but, the thought occurred to me this morning
that if we were filmed angling for 3 or 4 hours, a creative soul could
edit
the raw footage down to a half-hour comedy, a half-hour of social
commentary, a
half-hour of local history and perhaps a bit of fishing.


My sister is the long suffering type. Lo, these many decades after our
first meeting, she has not yet disavowed knowledge of my existence.....nor
even declared our familial relationship null and void. Still, there are
limits to her forbearance........even I know better than to speak for her.
We'll just have to wait and see how long we can test her patience. Besides,
we've met.......even with my participation being entirely off camera, I have
no doubt that the comedy will come easily and the fishing ( as you boys have
amply demonstrated time and again) will be exquisite.

So, where exactly did you guys fish? If you were within a good tee shot of
the turnpike you should have shouted hello.
