Here in the Candlewood Valley we were blessed with 60 degree temps yesterday. After attending to multiple family commitments, I took advantage of an opportunity to hit a familiar stream for a half an hour. I wish I could say the fishing was great, but that was not to be. I passed a spin fisherman heading up the path as I approached the river. This isn't a big stream by any measure...but I just smiled. It was nice to hear that he had a productive afternoon. I continued down the path and stood in his footprints and those made by a deer streamside. The rhythm of casting a small black bugger was peaceful. The sound of the river rolling over the rocks was refreshing. I had one take, there was a bend in the rod, but no fish brought to hand.

Hello old friend. A present to myself nearly twenty years ago. I have threatened to replace it with a "better" model...but I have too many memories and it still serves me so well.
