After my bride suggested I go fishing today, I took a pleasant drive through
the green California foothills to get first to the M... River which proved
too high and muddy, then looped around another 10 miles back towards home to
the T ... River. There I found a very sparse baetis hatch and one spot
with a few, sporadic, risers. I caught a single, but lovely, rainbow
trout. I didn't even try for more, choosing to relish the one, my good
fortune getting to meet him, and a short walk along the water, afterwards.
He was quite the gentleman, gingerly sipping a TrustyMusky floating in the
film, then fighting in the spirited manner one expects from a wild trout.
He measured right at 14"


I won't mention that I did all this in shirt sleeves and at some risk of
getting sunburn, out of respect for those of you living through blizzards
and ice storms G

Where did you look at the T river? Next trip is to a Jetboat run on the
Rogue, and thinking of a few steelhead. Did look beautiful today. But
since I have class on Wed and Thursday can not do the fishing thing then.
Did look at Shadow Cliffs on the way home and thinking of taking the float
tube to the ponds. Starting a new class in Art welding on Wed and the
guitar class on Thursday seems to be not as good as the lower level class I
took last semester. I at least take advantage of my tax dollars for the
junior college system.

Man, I both envy and despise you. :-)

right above the La Grange old bridge .... it was very slow, and I've heard
the river is really hurting from poaching and water flow problems, but it
was nice to be out


My inlaws used to live in Or. basically right on the river. The Rogue is
a cool river if a lot bigger than my normal choices ... enjoy

Being a resource waster, Aluminum river jetboat and art welding, I like big
and small rivers. And lakes big and small. June Lake area for small rivers
and lakes. I also just like to go fast in rivers. I also fly fish the
delta for stripers. Was a bad year for me. Be shad time before we know it.
Same time as IRS time.
