No - nothing to do with politics :-)

Spend the best part of the day fishing upstream of the secret spot,
as the weather dude promised a banner day. He was spot on, it was a
gorgeous day. Nice high sky made it easy to spot the cruiser-class
rainbows - and especially to pick out the bows and browns from the
spawning brookies, which were every friggin' where, getting
underfoot, bumping my shins. Nuisance animals ;-)

Best fish was the first one. I watched this dude for almost a half
hour as he kept lah-dee-dahing around and wouldn't settle long enough
to spot a decent drift at him. Even made conversation with a passing
fisherman, consoling him about being skunked to that point, while
keeping an eye on the fish. Finally mr trout found a comfortable spot
to hang out and watch the world drift by, so I bowled him a small
flashback pt nymph - which he took on the first try. That was pretty
cool, if a bad omen, but it brought in 19" of thick rainbow, colored
up nicely. Guy I was speaking with took a shot, if he can remember my
email addy I'll post it.

Spent the whole day above the rt 9 bridge as Cady Lane looked packed.
Mostly it was avoiding the brookies to get to the others, and I
caught a nice brown and another bow before calling it an afternoon at
dusk and joining the mad dash already in progress on the turnpike.

Don't know how many days we'll get like this one before the snow
falls...It was a great day.

I just came in from reclining outside where I thoroughly enjoyed an
Ashton Cabinet Pyramid and a glass of Merlot. This after printing and
reading Wolfgang's "speckled trout" post - very nice indeed. I don't
think I've just watched and appreciated the clear night sky any more in
my life. Interesting I came back in to read this after just thinking
there won't be many more of these nights this year. You were smart to
get out today, and I'm glad to hear you did well.

IIRC, last year , about this time, I played hookey for part of an
afternoon, and fished Cady Lane with you and Mr Tripper. It was a
beautiful afternoon, like today, and turned out to be my last trip of
season, as it snowed a few days later, and the weather continued ugly.
I had hoped to get out a while tomorrow, but it turns out I'll be stuck
in a sales meeting. I'll be out Saturday, along with the crowd, hoping
it's not the last time this year.
