Their was also an Osprey that showed a unhealthly interest
in the small Salmon I was playing.

Last week between rain storms Tara (my Lab) and I snuck out to throw a
Crystal bugger. It was one of those quiet evenings, not a ripple on the lake
or a boat in sight. As I slowly stripped back the bugger, an Osprey hit the
water about 30 ft. to my back. Startled (w/ possible stained shorts) we both
turned to watch the bird rise out of the water with a 8-9 inch rainbow
clinched in it's claws, quite a sight at that range. Normally they keep a
good 100 + ft. of distance...

People who don't fish usually don't realize how little fishing has to
do with the time we spend in the river.

True... true...
