I set out to catch a brown trout on a big river that sees moderate pressure but is still relatively quiet compared to other local year round rivers. It has some difficult access and really only one or two easy access areas. I normally am cautious because of some past injuries but yesterday I was feeling a bit careless.

I know for a fact that I shouldn't have climbed down here by myself. No ankle breakers or anything, but had a heck of a time getting out in studded wading boots.


So I went to one of the easy access areas, having had my share of bear crawling and sliding for the day...



Lesson learned: Check the easy spots first. :oops:
