Nice going Dave. Where did that Bass come from??? Like the underwater shot, must be using your new camera.

Yes Lee I was using my new camera . The bass I caught came from the lake along with Pike and perch during the flood I believe. I caught a few of them so they must be established. I caught a massive chub but when I was trying to take the picture it slipped from my fingers back into the water before I could get the shot . Dang thing was at least 10 inches long . I hiked in about 2 miles to the damn and when I got there they were seven people fishing the outlet in about five or six more fishing the deep pools along the way . But I know of several spots that people overlook that you have to walk to . I found these brown trout rising in a pool kind of hidden off the stream . I am going to go back when it cools down the water temperature was a little high . I seen a brown trout between 23 to 25 inches long he took my fly and half my tippet . I was using my one piece 2 weight bamboo rod . I got a little concerned when he took my fly but that rod has proven to be very durable I think it could handle a very large fish if played right. After all Lee Wulff caught 20 pound Atlantic Salmon on a five weight one piece rod . I have to be careful of the tip when landing in the net that's where it's critical . But the rod has plenty of give and I usually feedline to the fish if need be . That Rod. has fast become my favorite . I believe I will try to get out again soon but to mountain waters where they're much cooler I don't like putting stress on fish and warm water . I hope you guys get out soon looking forward to seeing your fishing post Dave V

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was
cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.
On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words,
and some of the words are theirs.
