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.

ReplyDeleteIt's always great to find another fly rodder.. beautiful cutthroat!
ReplyDeleteOf all the liars in the world the fisherman lies the least!
You live in a fantastic place, and I know that fishing is all about fudging.
ReplyDeleteFudging? Never! There's fotographic evidence!
ReplyDeleteLOVED your non-fiction fable of fishing! :D
ReplyDeleteThis is a fine fish fable with fantastic fotos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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.
ReplyDeleteOh daisy is very clever.I like her very much.
ReplyDeletethank you for your visiting my blog.
Take care!!
What fun! It isn't at all a normal fish fable...! Great photos...
ReplyDeleteGreat ABC post, as always! Daisy sure looks interested in fishing.
ReplyDeleteyour alliterative skills are amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful fish and such a successful fishing trip. I have never been a real fisherman. Have done only a few times in my life and could fell the thrill of the spot. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFantastic F! You write beautifully! That looks like a fantastic place for hiking and fishing! I wish I were a fisherman. Pity I am not!
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun-filled fish tale, Jane. Thanks for the chuckle.
ReplyDeleteI'm always up for trout fishing in a stream up in the mountains.
ReplyDeleteWonderful--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).
ReplyDeleteAlso, love the parr marks on the little cuttie. What a gem!
F is for FANTASTIC! enJOY your day!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather just stick to riding! Beautiful country. :)
ReplyDeleteYou 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!)
