I even rowed smoothly enough for Harmony to be able to take a nap up front
It was another perfect fall day with cool overcast conditions. TJ got a decent rainbow on a wooley bugger while I busted out my old Sage 9140 brownie for old times sake. The long rod allowed me to make casts from the rowing seat while not getting hung up on stuff and giving TJ room to cast from the bow. Of course I fished my skater with confidence, especially in spots that have produced fish in the past, but my internal vision of steelhead coming up to attack my skater never materialized. Oh well, such is the life of the long suffering surface steelheader - self-inflicted punishment is part of the deal.
All in all, it was a blessed day with my precious little granddaughter, my son TJ, and daughter in law Stephanie.
