Headed north to Shady Valley on Thursday. Stopped on the way and fished a little creek for an hour or so. Got my first trout in almost 2 years.

Brent G Memorial. My eyes were to blurry and the lump in my throat wouldn’t let me speak.
Met Brent for the first a few years back at the first Smallie Show and found a friend, brother, kindred spirit. Was blessed to share a few meals, streams and campfires with Brent and his family.. He was always smiling, quick to lend a hand at whatever needed doing, share a fly or where and how to fish the water... Gone but not forgotten....
Saturday nite by the fire.
