I headed east before sunrise. After getting out of bed at 3:30am I don't know what I did for an hour and a half but I still made it out the door before 5:00am.

Banner Day
Today was a banner day of fly fishing at a place I like to call, "Little Labrador". I could hardly cast without hooking a fish and sometimes I would pull my streamer out of the water prematurely if I saw a little one chasing it. While I didn't land a true trophy I more than made up for it in sheer numbers of confidence boosting decent sized trout.
I didn't have the fly to match this hatch. In the end it didn't even matter. Does anybody know what kind of Mayfly this is?
This trout was tempted by a streamer I tied myself. I was so happy until I lost said streamer.
I think I pulled 15 Brook Trout of of this spot and then my leg started to cramp up so I started walking upstream again.
I thought this tree was pretty cool. The bark had moss growing on it. Imagine that.
I was starting to get thirsty as I had exhausted my water rations. Then I saw this spring water gurgling out of the hillside. My thirst was quenched and I felt like a new man.
This ten inch Brook Trout put up quite the fight. I named him Fighty.
A good time had by me.
