The trout has taken a soft hackle fly. Lovely picture. Tons of personality in that trout.

I'm gathering intel for the big outing to Yellowstone.

I'm putting in my roadwork to be ready both for Rocky Mountain National Park (8200' at Beaver Meadows) and Yellowstone (8000'). I'm a flatlander and I suspect I need more than a three mile trot endurance. I'm working on it.

I need to get out on the water but the vocational concerns bit hard this spring as I knew they would. Things should get better as we age into June. Should help.

The rivers are coming down and bug are coming up. Could be an epic bug year.

I need to go trout camping.

Back to the salt mines.

Prost.
