Fishing After Five

It's already the end of August, and for us in the North it seems that summer is finally here. It's warm enough with no socks and even no flannel sheets. One thing though some guys are starting to think about hunting season; stores are displaying Halloween. We haven't gone fishing enough at all this season. On my weekday off last week we decided to go to Apple Creek after Joe came home from work, taking store-bought pasties (Cornish meat/ potato pies) along for dinner.
We actually saw a bunch of fish. We just couldn't get any of them interested to bite. There were some pretty big fish. They just hung out right in front of us, which alone was quite exciting. But we wished we could have caught one! Oh well. The truth was that with or without fish it was very enjoyable to be on the stream. We both were glad we didn't wait for the next weekend off together to go fishing.
