I've caught and released the same fish from some creeks nearby. They've become old friends. <br />Thanks for taking us along. Our Victorian creeks and streams are closed for trout fishing until September so I take great pleasure in your sharing of your time on the stream.<br />Kind Regards,<br />Steve.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17349271164490121533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-65857960415929122002018-08-05T11:06:27.805-04:002018-08-05T11:06:27.805-04:00looks lovely & idyllic Alan, well donelooks lovely & idyllic Alan, well done Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926692554414114477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-14574401456715538202018-08-04T12:21:22.069-04:002018-08-04T12:21:22.069-04:00Bill Trussell

I saw some along that stream you was fishing. Was the nice size brook trout taken in the fast water; had to be a thrill on the light fly rod.
