I don't fish much these days, and so this TR documents
the first fish I caught this year, and several thereafter.

I actually did break out my flyrod earlier this year, as
I mentioned on ROFF before. In march I fished about 20min
on the Middle Fork of the Gila, during a lunch break on
a horseback ride into the Middle Fork. The river was high
and I caught nothing.

Two weekends ago my wife and I did a one-night pack-in
with our horse, mule, and burro into the Mimbres River
in the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Area. While we've done
plenty of truck camping, this was our first pack-in camp,
and was an experiment in seeing how we overcame certain
logistical difficulties, you can see pictures he

Beautiful pics, and a soul-satisfying thing to be doing! What's up with your
horse that he needs training wheels?
