Time and Date

Profound thoughts like rainbow trout are found in both the deep and shallow areas of the stream. You just have to know when, where, and how to look.

About Me

My photo
I'm an old Montanan living in Spokane, Washington attempting to "leave tracks" for family and friends. And, upon occasion, I may attempt to "stir the soup" a bit. :-) Please leave written comments. It motivates me!

The logic of it all


Fly fishing thoughts
Shortly after Rose and I were married I took her along on a trip to Northern Idaho to introduce her to my other passion ~ fly fishing.  She watched and read as I fished a nearby "run".  I noticed a quizzical look on her face as she watched me make a couple of false casts and deliver the fly in perfect form to a far reach of water.  As we sipped coffee on the bank later in the morning, she asked, "why do you cast it back and forth like that before you put the fly back on the water?"  I replied I was drying the fly.  To which she replied, "if you want it dry ,why do you keep throwing it back in the water?"
