Seasons

Each year I plan to fish more and fish more places, but some years other aspects of life simply trump fly fishing. This last summer, selling our house, buying another and moving slowed me right down. That said I did have a few good days.

The highlight of last season for me wasn't my biggest fish of the year. It was a 17" trout I caught on Slate Run. Slate Run is a very beautiful stream. I've read that it holds a large population of browns, but I suspect that is an exaggeration. It's clear and it's tough and I've had more bad days fishing that stream than good ones. I was there for a rainy few days and we didn't catch much. March Browns were coming off and I hooked my trout in a perfect fast deep run under some trees.
