Weekend Recap

Last two weeks all of a sudden spring decided to happen. Even just over this weekend we watched the landscape go from mostly brown to gold, then next day to light green. A shade darker from morning to afternoon. 

We made sure to explore in woods, looking for wild flowers and mushrooms.

The river was a little high after a downpour with thunder and lightning, but we went to fish what we could. What was not planned was Joe's line had a backlash that caused his lure to fly backwards, sticking onto his arm. He spent the next 20 minutes fighting with the hooks. He was hooked really good-- the biggest catch of the day!

Everything was alright once we got to our favorite brewery, drinking beer and listening to live bluegrass music. 

Next day we started our day on the trout stream. Joe caught a decent brown first, and then Kayo caught her first keeper trout of the season, a 14" brown. Otherwise we didn't see much action. 

The afternoon had to be improvised a bit, since Joe got called out for work. Somehow we ended up back at the pub for a proper pint to make up. Now Joe cannot wait to train his crew at work fully, so he doesn't have to be on call. That would be a reason to raise a pint... hopefully soon.
