Ends, But Not Odds


Pursuing Wild Trout, is a book that tells of a wilderness in northern California that is  home to wild trout. It's well written, and is an easy read. I bought this book maybe twenty years ago, and still pick it up from time to time to reread parts of it.




Mark, at Northern California Trout might have some knowledge of this area.




This is a companion of mine. He comes with me on all my outings.


I love stuff like this.... this one is from Great Barrington, MA. It's awesome.


The "Picket Pin" a wonderful little wet fly. I have carried this fly for a lot of years. I used this fly yesterday and I'm going to use it again today. The report will come on its performance.


This is the apple harvest time in New England, so....... "Apple Walnut Bread"

  6. I went out on the Internet to look for the book and found a bunch of sites that have it for very few $$$$. I'm going to pick one up and if there are questions, I might have answers.
