I pulled off the highway and into the parking lot. My intention was to
fish a stretch of water that I'd never cast to in the 20 years I've
lived here. Even though the temp was pushing 80 I was hoping that the
springs that fed this part of the river, upstream from the put-in,
would make the water trout friendly.

snipped excellent Part 1
I have nothing to add to what others have said, but if I don't post
something I could be severely chastised for not appreciating on-topic fly
fishing content on roff. ;-)

We know where your children go to school. Behave yourself or we will give
them your address.....and your credit card numbers.

Waiting for Part 2. . .

There, that wasn't so hard, was it?
