You can also doctor the soup by adding fresh cream, herbs and a real good bakery bread. It will make your cold day warm.Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-72983640739566780932020-11-01T11:29:16.890-05:002020-11-01T11:29:16.890-05:00Alan,

My wife and I have been picking field mushrooms lately! They are the best they've been in years! We have had abundant rain recently which caused the mushrooms to pop! I am thinking about slicing some fresh ones and putting over your entree! <br />I am glad to see that Connecticut is getting some beneficial rains and snow too! Our ponds and streams are way down as well! Bring on the rains! <br />DougsdenDougsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800383538251413175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-23921941182058926972020-10-31T06:56:30.451-04:002020-10-31T06:56:30.451-04:00Sam

Fine looking brook trout and that ...G'Day Alan,<br />Fine looking brook trout and that second one was a big bloke. Any idea on how old he might be? The fly--a Mickey Finn?<br />It always amazes me how a small stream can recover from adverse conditions. During the prolonged drought period we had a few years ago in OZ,the Grace Burn that runs through my town turned into a series of stagnant pools with barely a trickle between them. Seemingly no signs of life. But after the drought broke,the trout and native fishes magically reappeared--none of these were stocked--these streams haven't been stocked with trout since the 1960's. I dont know where they sheltered but it shows how resilient and tenacious they can be.<br />Our COVID19 restrictions have been eased a fair bit. We are now allowed to fish provided it's within 25 km's of home. This distance limit is supposed to be scrapped in a week or so. Looking forward to heading up to some favourite spots a little ways from home. Small Stream Reflections helped get me through our lock down. Thanks, yet again, Alan. You and the blog are a legend!<br />Kindest Regards,<br />Steve.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17349271164490121533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-44230331649452895342020-10-29T18:27:08.943-04:002020-10-29T18:27:08.943-04:00Bill Trussell
