I said yesterday that I'd post a picture or two of the fish I caught.  I didn't take any pictures yesterday so I'll post one from a couple of years ago.  Now about yesterday.  I started fishing around 8:15 at Crystal Lake.  The wind was blowing quite a bit which put a nice ripple on the water.  I saw a couple of fish take something off the top of the water and tied on a "Teterbaetis".  On about the third cast a rainbow decided that here is an opportunity to ingest a tidbit. He came up and took the fly and I had my first fish of the day.  I continued to hook these fish which were all about the same size cast after cast.  I had netted and released 15 trout in an hour and a half.  Now that's what I call a great morning of fishing.  I was using my #3 wt rod so they all gave me a struggle on the way to the net. I fished for about two more hours and caught three more fish and I lost several on the way to the net.  Eighteen fish netted, 6 or 7 lost on the way to the net.  I left with a great feeling of accomplishment.

My dance card for the week is not very full.  I go to infusion and meet the doctor later tomorrow. Thursday I play bridge and that's all I have on the calendar for the rest of the week.

Vote Republican and not fall into the socialist trap the democrats are proposing.
