Last Day Rainbow
Nancy and I are moving west—to the Portland, OR, area to be closer to Jason, and Kelley, and Brooke. We need to get more family time and fishing time together. Amidst all the sorting, packing, tossing, trips to GoodWill, and all the other assorted agonies of moving, John Beth sent me this photo of an 18 inch rainbow that he caught on the last day of the inland trout season. It came from a spring creek in SW Wisconsin, but looks like an Alaskan Leopard Rainbow. To top it off, John used a cane rod, silk line, and 100-year old reel. Ah, but he didn’t use a gut leader—we will forgive you John.
What a way to end the season.
