Milestones

This is going to be hard.  Today I had one of the best fishing days ever, and I forgot the camera, so I have no documentation.  To make matters worse, my only witness is Roger and he has virtually NO creds in the fishing world.  He’ll probably say that he caught more fish than I (true, but who can believe HIM).  So I must apologize. 

We went to the White River in Arkansas and caught and released the most rainbows ever for me.  The water was low, the weather was perfect and the fish ravenous.  They hit most everything we threw at them.  They were small (largest >17”) but feisty and brightly colored. 

It was a good day fishing and that beats most other choices of activities.

We are safely ensconced at the DeJean’s in Blue Eye and Roger’s been coaching me in choosing the proper towing vehicle and how to find it on the internet.  Who’d-a thunk?

More news when it’s fit to print.
