Daddy taught me well, about scaring the fish... Always approach the lake up wind, so the fish don't smell you... Don't stand near the water, so the fish can't see you... Never rattle anything, use bushes as camouflage, etc.
He always caught fish, so perhaps he was right. But, then, there were Grandma and Grandpa that had an old aluminum row boat that leaked. We were always bailing it out with a coffee can, threw chicken bones in the water, (from our fried chicken lunch), our paper trash we took with us, but if it edible, we let the fish take it! We made noise, chewed gum, laughed, and somehow, they always caught fish, too!
Dive in for a midnight dip in the starry water.
That is amazing Mac. Just dreamy. Well done!
Awesome!
Fire Lake.
I can imagine Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band playing on the shore line. Just too cool.
Sorry Mac, could resist. I'm in a particular reverie.
One of Segars' best, K.
No problem … if the picture evokes a song, another picture, a poem …
… it's all good.
Please, periodically check the articles in the PHOTOGRAPHY & ART FORUM …
Take a break from the politics.
I wish I were there! With my family and dreams...

Me too … along with you.
Bring a fly rod; there are trout in that lake.
Could I just run around on the shore, picking up rocks?
My purple rock is still ''shining bright'', Dowser.
I'm so glad!!! Fluorite is such a neat mineral!!!

Yeah; but don't toss them in the water … it'll scare the fish.

Here's a rule-of-thumb.
"A Brook Trout" will take any fly presented to it provided you don't get close enough to present it!"
Daddy would appreciate that! He once caught a record breaking trout in Wyoming... If I could find the picture, I'll post it!
Good night all.
Maybe tomorrow we'll get more traffic.
Absolutely beautiful
Good to see you, RIO.
My kind of place to hang out, AMac. Thanks.
Lovely image!! Like unto a beard of stars. Hmmmm.
I love it, Tex!
Howdy!! I do hope that you are doing most wonderfully fine. Good to be back in your neck of the woods again.
I'm glad you're back here, where I get to "see" you every now and then!! Love you, dear Tex!
