Just the thing for winding down, after a long hot, rock hopping day, chasing trout.

A little research before heading upstream.

Not knowing, whats around the next bend, kept me exploring further & further.......pushing myself.
Mother nature reminded me 'its time to turn back old fella', the dark, menacing clouds above gave out a deep rumble.....echoing around the steep valley slopes. Short intense showers followed. The catchy melody 'Slip Sliding away' filled my mind,as made my way over,what now seemed like oil smoothered rock shelves & boulders, heading back down to camp.

Arrived safe & sound. Soak through to the skin...but feeling so very much alive.

Cheers,
Marc

Fresh mountain air, a little adventure, some very pretty,willing, & hungry trout, made up a fine combination for this jaded soul.

Good On Ya! ofuros; That stream looks as though it could be hard yakka in places. Nice water and the fish arn't to be sneezed at either. Keep having fun. :thumbup: Jax

Yet another reason to go down south of south. Great picts and looks like a great time out on the water.

Thanks, Kollman & Palewatery,

With a little effort on my part & with a little luck, fingers crossed, touch wood, allows me to capture these sparkling jewels of the stream...then watch them slowly swim away.

Cheers,
Ofuros
