I knew there were some anglers lurking around here.
Odrade : Do pick it up again! It's easy to forget how fortunate we are to have recreation choices like these so close by.
Xena : There's nothing wrong with beer fishing. Or fishing in beer. Or fishing becuase of beer. Just as long as you're fishing.
exjdub : I'm glad the story inspired you. Now, off to Montana with you! You know, if you go just a little farther, you'll be here.
Codeblue : When I first moved here, I called scenes like those pictured above, "Calendar Scenes", because I'd only seen their like on pictoral calendars. We're very lucky to live here, with restful places like that easily within our reach.
Ozzie : Thanks for the glowing report card! I apologize for omitting the statistics on beer consumption. In the future, it should be a given, that if BigRed is fishing, ample quantities of beer are being consumed. But only good beer.
Mulan : Thank you! you'll have copies of all photos, and soon.
truthseeker1 : This guy was yummie, too. He was covered and stuffed with onion and lemon slices, and barbequed.
Makena1 : I am humbled by the conparison... I believe that "A River Runs Through It" is one of the richest stories ever put to film. I am certain, however, that like Norman MacLean's little brother, I'd have gone in after the fish if necessary. I've never been able to manage a fly line like that maestro on the poster, though.
