My Father's Day was spent at the creek below Eagle Valley Reservoir, Spring
Lakes State Park, Nevada, fishing for German brown trout. I got two nice
ones before slipping on a rock and falling into a deep portion of the creek,
landing on my back. The last thing I saw was blue sky and clouds. Then the
water covered everything up. I got soaked. Every inch of me. My Cobra two
way radio. My hearing aids. All my clothes.

I dragged myself up on the shore, and raised up my wader boots to put my
heel on a large rock so the water would run downward and out the top. Lots
of water came out. I decided to return to camp and put on some dry clothes.
The two browns were about 14" long, and that's something coming from a
stream that is only a couple of feet wide in places. Sometimes three feet
deep, as the hole I fell into. I got lucky. I could have landed on my back
in a rocky section.

All in all, a very nice day in a very nice place.
