Okay, so I couldn't completely change my ways in just one week.  When the fish look like magnificent works of art, and the location of their home territory is so picturesque, it is a hard thing to say no to.  Add in the fact that if I locate the fish on a remote stretch of water and don't have to worry about seeing any other people, then it is the perfect weekend trifecta for me.

The plan:

Wake up at 5am, leave house at 5:30, arrive at parking lot by 7:15, hike in and line in the water by 8:45am.  I fished for about 3 hours and the action was non-stop the whole time. 

The Parkway just after sun-up.

















The last trout spit up his breakfast.







This was the big fish that I landed on the day.  It was just a hair under 9-inches, but was nice and chunky.
















 
Until next time.......

I was born by the river in a little tent, And just like the river I've been running ever since, It's been a long, long time coming, But I know change is gonna come.

Nice looking brookies.   8)

I was down south this weekend so I missed out on all the fishing I could have been doing.  Gotta go one day after work or for sure this weekend before I lose my chit.    b';

I'm surprised you recognized it.

Oh, and btw ODA, nice pull on the Dylan.  That song happens to have special meaning for me.
