Those pictures put a smile on my face. I haven't been out fishing all year, but this was a nice reminder of what's waiting for me. Oregon brook trout love to smash a Royal Wulff, too. Who knew?

I enjoy big western waters, but those little streams and the gorgeous fish in them are what it's all about for me. Fishing always seems more intimate and personal in such locales.

Thanks for reminding me why I need to get back to Shenandoah.

How do you like those Hoka boots?

I switched to those last fall and absolutely love them! I even bought a pair of low-tops for casual wear.

Nice trip and beautiful pictures!

One of the things that makes fly fishing so great is the physical effort required. Whether it is hiking to a stream, walking the stream bank, standing in the current, or evenstanding in a boat, you are exercising your arms and legs. All day long. And you get to do it in the beautiful places that fish choose to live in. What a sport.
