2005
WELL, WE ARE OFF TO A NEW YEAR. THE LAST ONE WAS QUITE GOOD, LOTS OF FINE FISHING, GREAT VENUES AND FABULOUS FRIENDS! THIS YEAR SHOULD BE EVERY BIT AS GOOD, AND WITH THE ADDITION OF SOME NEW LOCATIONS, WILL PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME EXCITING FISHING AND PHOTOGRAPHY.
THE FIRST TRIP OF THE YEAR WAS A BRIEF ONE TO THE STANISLAUS RIVER ,FOLLOWED BY A MID APRIL DVFF CLUB TRIP TO THE LOWER SACRAMENTO RIVER. NEXT WAS MY ANNUAL GREEN RIVER OUTING IN UTAH WITH ANDRE PUYANS. KEEP CHECKING BACK AS WE FILL OUT THE REST OF THE YEAR WITH OUR ANNUAL DVFF FISH & CHIPS OUTING (FISHING & GOLF) AS WELL AS TRIPS TO, BAJA, BRITISH COLUMBIA AND ALASKA.

THE FIRST TROUT OF THE SEASON IS ALWAYS IMPROBABLY PRETTY. IT
GLISTENS AND THROBS IN YOUR HAND, A SLAB OF MULTIHUED MUSCLE. IF YOU
PUT IT BACK IN THE STREAM, YOU'LL FORGET HOW IT LOOKED; IF YOU KEEP IT FOR
DINNER, IT WILL FADE TO PEWTER. SO YOU SAVOR THE MOMENT AND THE FISH, FOR
WHAT IT IS--A TRANSIENT, INTIMATE, ALMOST SECRET ENCOUNTER WITH NATURE. AND
YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU ARE LUCKY, YOU'LL HAVE MORE ENCOUNTERS LIKE
THESE. BUT YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT EXACTLY WHEN, OR HOW MANY MORE TIMES, IT
WILL HAPPEN. BECAUSE AS YOU STAND THERE IN THE RIVER, WET HAND GOING NUMB,
YOU REALIZED THAT YOU LOVE THIS SPORT SO MUCH THAT YOU WILL BE FISHING FOR
TROUT THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. |
