Is it April 15th yet?

Tax client's health hasn't been the greatest (90's) so I offered to come grab his tax documents for a couple hours of fishing his trout stream.  Arrived at his place in the morning.  Talked half the time about taxes and other half about his life, farming, and fermenting practices.  Fermenting talk led to him giving me some 3 year old fermented ramps which were surprisingly not bad.  Headed down to the stream in sideways blowing sleet and realized wet wading was a stupid decision but away I went.  Sleet and rain was sporadic in the next 2 hours, but fish bite was constant.  Best day I've had there with probably 40 plus fish in that short time period.  Extra water in the stream helped.




The mill stones












Stocker surprised me.  Fish was a good ways from stocked waters.

Is that an outdoor research shirt you are wearing?

No, it's some cheapo flannel jacket.

I'd be happy to do that guy's taxes for the opportunity to fish his stream!

Nice work! I guess you'll have to return those taxes for signatures and what not, maybe file extensions, and make two or three more trips...
