"Brook Trout will take any fly presented to them … provided you don't get close enough to present it!"

They are easily spooked … and incredibly beautiful.

A magnificent fish - it must have been a hell of a fight. When I look at it, I just get hungry for filets breaded and pan fried in butter.

that was about 6 years ago , no longer live near where that was caught , on the east slope now , and haven't gone fishing seriously for almost 5 years now , lost interest I guess. but that  one sure was tasty, and was the "little one I kept.

 but here is another fishing photo:

I want "I'd rather be fishing" carved on my tombstone.

I told my wife that she'd better out live me, because if she does not then I am going to have "Yada Yada Yada" carved on her side of our tombstone and "Yes Dear" carved on my side. She said she will rise from the dead and haunt me if I do that. She says she has special Jewish powers that will make it possible for her to get me back. I don't believe her.  I think.

Ah, but she does, Randy. Just ask Enoch.

I would trust Enoch on anything, especially on this. When he is on again I will ask him. I long ago accused my wife of casting a Jewish spell over me when we first met, because I swear all I remember is our first date when I wore nothing but black. Black silk shirt, black silk jacket, black jeans, black motorcycle boots, black sunglasses and all heavy silver jewelry. Three or four heavy silver bracelets on each wrist and a ring on every finger. My hair was long and I had a fu man chu mustache. I had three earrings in my left ear including a large skull and a long feather one that came down to my mouth. I had a large silver, very heavy (all my jewelry was real silver) necklace and a smaller one that had a roach clip attached to it with my Ruby birthstone attached to it.  I also wore a black version of an Indiana Jones' Fedora, pulled down really low. I was a hard core stoner freak and glad to let my freak flag fly. I was FLY!

Then I met Joan. About 6 weeks later I was looking at myself in the mirror shaving for work and I suddenly noticed that I had no idea who the man I was looking at in the mirror was? All of my facial hair was gone. I had a small diamond (granted it was about a 1 caret real) earring in my ear, the bracelet on my right hand was gold, not silver, my watch was a gold Vicence Swiss made thing that I had never heard of. I mean they never sold them down at Wieck's General store in Hopkins. My shirt, pants and belt were Armani and my shoes were Cole-Hahn. My hair had been professionally styled into perfect curls!!!! I had on a gold necklace with both a Catholic cross and a Star of David!!! I had been Jewified!!!

It was a fucking spell!!!

Your wife deserves a lot of credit. Anyone who can rescue you from looking like this HAS to be amazing:

Houdini was Jewish and prior to his death, he and his wife planned at length how he would communicate to her from his grave.

It never materialized.

Any way, to you and Buzz, live long in good health and prosper.

In fact, to all NT people ... And I do mean all ... I wish the same.*

 

* Yes, even that member.

Be back on site later ... More mountain streams and Judaica ... 

White fish ... Best of two worlds.

WC Fields supposedly has on his tombstone, "On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia."

That hurts.
