I'm going trout fishing in the woods today. Would you like to come along?You might want to click on the pictures for a close up view. Wouldn't want you to miss seeing a rock or stump, trip and fall now, would we?
These small valley's are carved by spring fed streams. Limestone bluff on one side, hardwood forest on the other. Feel how cold the water is. The trout thrive here. 
Insect hatches often come off the riffles. Trout feed on them. But not today. I'll fish the quiet pools and deep edges along the banks. 
It so quiet here in the woods. I rarely see anyone else. Lets sit on the bank and listen. Sometimes a doe and a fawn can be seen coming down for a drink. In the spring there are warblers everywhere. 
Well, the fish weren't biting today. Still, I don't think our time was wasted. Do you?
Time is never wasted when you are outdoors enjoying nature. I could sit in a spot like that for hours.

No, it definitely was not a waste going with you today. All that wonderful peace and quiet plus the fresh air is fantastic. Only next time, please dont tie me to the tree like that so I cannot get pictures of the bugs.
ReplyDeleteOh and remember to bring the picnic basket.
LOL!!
Looks like a productive day in a beautiful place! I would just need my camera and dog to make it complete.
ReplyDeleteAnd how many times did you put down your pole to grab your binoculars??? ;c)
ReplyDeleteTime spent on the water or right here is never wasted. I absolutely love that header photo!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we didn't catch any fish!!! but the time in the woods by the water was just what I needed.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE streams like that. So beautiful, such a wonderful, babbling sound. I could spend hours in such places!
ReplyDeleteThe old retired couple has it 100% right....porch sitting beats TV any day of the week.

Nice pics of your homewater. At least the fishing is always good even when the catchin' ain't.
