    So recently I got feedback from someone here, that I was taking too many creative liberties with my posts.  In a nutshell; too much post with post.  In a semi-sarcastic attempt to satisfy all those who look.  Here is my load and duel report from today.  Sincerly I hope this quenches your thirst; whether it be for the quasi-never break the norm blah, or the anti of all that in the pre-clause.

    Part Uno;

    **Disclaimer **A report sans bug box shot and macro of a bug crawling up on a blade of grass, because seriously, trout don’t care what you throw in front of them and nothing was crawling.  Besides that everything is of the traditional non-blue-pill type.

    My wife Tara and I walked this harmonous stream, and ejoyed its bounty.

    My love wasn’t the only delicate flower on the water.

    We threw long quiet casts, falling softly on still waters. Raising fish in the traditional manner, as god planned it.

    The crickets went “chirp”, our shots were flat and straight on, because a wide angle is edgy in this land!

    So in line with being confined I pulled out the 105.  Safe, simple, point and click.  It was a glorious day, the likes of which Cotton would have praised high and gone home heavy.

    Turned the lens over and shot traditional, fish in hand here we go again.

    The fish were cooperative and posed nicely for the every-day shot.

    We released all animlas unharmed during the making of this post.

    Blah-Blah Blah.   So seriously post dos; is the report. If you feel satisfied then don’t bother reading the next post.   I promsie you, it will be to post-edgy-crazy-for you to handle.

    Post Dos:

    We hiked a lot, if you read my other stuff, you get that. It happens, it’s “HOW WE ROLL.”

    After our hike we looked back, it was a long way.

    Looking back over our progress we looked forward, and saw some unusual behavior for this time of year; Troots doing the dirty.
    (This picture is PG-13 so if you’re are easily offended please don’t read any more of my post)

    We moved on, and found new fish.  Threw no dries and got down with teh OG Copper-B.  Accept no exceptions.

    Our hike and catching fish had made us really thristy.  So we took a break, and drank so many Beers we passed out in the sun.

    When we woke up, I was really burnt, and hot.  A swim sounded nice.
    We found the deepest water we could find.

    Please forgive my UW shots: I just got my housing and still figuring out. I’m hoping that since these are the only high rez shots of one of rarest trout in the world, let alone sub surface shots, folks will politely look the other way.

    After swimming we figured… heck we should catcha  couple so we did.

    This one was great, I think  he just came from a RAVE.

    Drunk, happy, and fish filled we went home.

    Shane thanks, but seriously my life is on a one way course to be fish bum, if you like money (which unfortunatly I do) you either can’t keep any or make any with my lifestyle.
