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.

Waders, boots, vest, rod. The preparatory ritual which I had
unfamiliarly stumbled though just a few weeks ago was now an easy
routine. In less than 5 minutes I was splashing through the mud
puddles to the River...

Great stuff!
Pls continue
