I just had an out of body experience reading your post,someone has been running around in my own"Private Idaho".Seriously,condolences on your Dad and your best friend.My relationship with my own father,now 81,revolves around fishing the Clam,the Buck and the Farmington.He can still get around enough to fish moving water if we do enough scouting.I consider myself lucky its something we can still do together.My fathers signature fishing accesory is a wicker creel held together with paper clips,bandaids and duct tape.When the creel comes out someone is going fishing.We've been fishing this area since the mid 60's.Thanks for sharing for memories of your time with your father.
