Today is the last day of my summer vacation (I'm on of them overpaid teachers) so I took the fly rod and headed up the hill.
This guy was the biggest catch of the day (I actually caught another one about the same size, but I had my limit of browns by then so I let it go). Probably weighed two pounds, which is a decent fish for this water. I fought him for probably ten minutes or so, and man was it fun! You can't fight a fish like this too aggressively on light tackle or you'll break your line. (1) That goes double in very strong current. He headed downstream and I had to follow him for quite a way through some inconveniently deep whitewater. (2) I got a little wet (3) but finally brought him to the net.

1: I know. I've done the research.
2: Fisherman code: I went swimming.
3: I was only slightly dryer than the fish.
Anybody want to hazard a guess what's for supper at Badger Manor?
