I love fishing out west, here’s a picture of a 20+ inch caught on Tarryall Creek in Colorado. What a wonderful day to fish.  It was early April and the willows were starting to put out their buds.  I remember as a youngster gathering the budding stocks and taking them home to put in a vase to display them.  A few weeks later the fluffy ends would disintegrate but they were a beautiful arrangement with a few violets feathered between the stocks.  A wonderful reflection on my sixty third birthday. 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎈🎊🎉🎊🎉🎂🎊🎉🎊🎉🎁🎊🎉🎊🎉
