Shriveled creeks, fleeting glimpses of long awaited fall colors...yesterday's sudden temperature drop--near 80 two days ago barely 40 yesterday with an all day stiff and frigid north wind...long johns and wool gloves...fleece and wool instead of well-worn fishing shirts...
...the season's first spawning redd (all time earliest for this ol' boy)and...
...a spawned out brown (another all time earliest). I caught the old girl a couple days after I spotted her and her mate spawning not far from the redd (above)e.g. NOT on the redd as has become way too de rigeuer of late...in my humble opinion that is...
Anyway all that and of course the on going hunt for upland gamebirds (pheasants come in Saturday) although we have no plans for participating in the opening week circus and will continue to hunt down sage hens, huns and perhaps a blue grouse or two..
