Fishing

Oh, I"ve been fitting in some fishing, mind.

Highlight fish: 3lb rainbow that just about tested the Arbour knot keeping the backing on the reel. That was a long fight that excited plenty of witnesses.

Sublimity: last Saturday on the White. First hour, hauling large browns and rainbows from a stunning pool, with nothing more than a size-12 gold-ribbed hare's ear fished out of the fast water and into the pool. Then, in the evening session, nailing more of the same with 7x tippet holding up Tup's Indispensable on deep, slow water.

  1. I think we're gonna have to go fight the crowds down at the crow given your newfound proclivity for large rainbows and finesse fishing.
