First Day of Trout

Opening Day of Trout Season

  This is a great vintage photo of an anonymous young angler. He is all set with his rod , reel, bait can and willow creel.
  Each time I look at it, I'm instantly transported back in time. It reminds me of the excitement and anticipation I felt on those wonderful opening season trout trips as a boy. Traveling to the Pine Creek with Dad, Pop Pop and their Fishing Buddies. 
 What a feeling to be invited to join them in the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania and wade in the cold ,clear ,fast moving current of the Pine. 
Thanks Dad.
