Keep us posted on your where abouts like you did last year. I enjoyed
those TRs.


Some guys love the excitement of the new places, and so do I, but I far
prefer the intimacy and warmth of the familiar. I've fished the HFork and
Silver Creek nearly every year, at least a little, for many years now, and
they feel like home. The feeling of "home water" is what I hope will
evolve for my remaining summers, though my home has wheels.

The Teton is no longer my favorite type of stream to fish. I now much
prefer much smaller mountain streams. The types of streams where a
fourteen inch trout is huge. These are streams where Dippers (Water
Ouzels) seem to nod their approval as they follow you as you work your
way upstream. But, I have that intimacy of which you speak with the
Teton. It almost calls to me. On it's waters I learned to fly fish, and
for that reason alone I have a great fondness for it. When I on it I am
at home.




When you get to that place I hope to maybe meet up with you
there. Might be shaky though. My fishing prospects for the summer are
looking kinda bleak. We bought a new house last fall and SWMBO says the
basement must be finished.



I hope you can make it ....HWMBO ..HE who must be obeyed .... is your own
"spiritual side" and if you are anything like me, HWMBO says, " find some
water, .... fish, sit, look, and listen .... not necessarily in that order
.... " Not that it will help, but you can quote me to SWMBO g


Well said. However, it is unfair to lay this on my wife. In fact, the
other day she suggested that I go fishing. My To Do list won out. The
basement needs to be finished. Members of my wifes family often come
from Brazil for extended visits and I need to make room for them.
