Fishing with Friends

F is for Fishing.
On a fine August morning, Steve caught many fish, including this freckled cutthroat fingerling:
Daisy, for her part, fixed her fervent gaze on the stream, fantasizing about fetching:
For a challenge, Steve tried fishing from Boss's back, very carefully. Boss was fearful of the fly rod at first, thinking it was a fiery fiend, but he soon finished fidgeting around the field and faced the stream, figuring there was no point in fighting his fickle fellow.
Steve went back to finding fulfillment through fish, but with Daisy and Boss's assistance. With two sharp-eyed friends on the lookout, how could Steve fail to find trout aplenty?
A final word: I, Janie, was there, firsthand, fotographing the fishing. Never fear, this is all factual, or at least not as fictitious as the usual fish fable.

  17. Beautiful fish. lol, I've never seen anything fish from horseback before. So did Daisy refrain from getting in the stream? I never in a million years could have taken my JRT fishing. That clear water is amazing, especially to us in the murky Southeast.

  25. I'm always up for trout fishing in a stream up in the mountains.

  26. Wonderful--I've heard a few old ranchers here talk about fishing from horseback, but have never seen it done (and our ranchers today are too busy to know nature in non-economic ways).

    Also, love the parr marks on the little cuttie. What a gem!

  28. I'd rather just stick to riding! Beautiful country. :)

  29. You are really good at those. Fictitious or factual, or in something in between, they are always enjoyable. It doesn't hurt that that water looks very clear and cold (and flowing fast!)
