Trout Don't Live In Ugly Places

Trout Don't Live In Ugly Places

Written by: Len Harris
Photos by: Len Harris

It is the middle of winter. Close your eyes and dream about may and june. The sights the smells they are intoxicating....even with your eyes closed.



The sounds of water....the smell of the outdoors....It is all etched in your memories.



The world is new and beginning its rebirth.



Oh my .....it is almost impossible to describe the smells and the scenery.



The wind in the trees and the baby birds chirping.



A bee buzzing.....



Unexpected discoveries on the way to the stream.



May I open my eyes now? I believe it is time to fish.

It is Monday Morning...

Monday morning comes......You are stuck at work....
The weather wasn't the BEST so you didn't go out this
weekend fishing......

Then you read this thread.....
And say to yourself...
"What was the reason I didn't go fishing?"
Ah...it was the drive home in the dark?

I think you said....
It had something to do with the weather?

Or could have been you are afraid of spiders?

Or it was the snake last time out...gotta be that.

The outdoors is calling you...........

and......
what was that reason again?

Marvelous post there! I was thinking of that exact phrase you used as the title when watching a recent episode of fly fishing the world filmed in New Zealand. What a beautiful place that is!

Re: Trout Don't Live In Ugly Places

I think you guys have some much nicer places than we do over in the UK - Who is going to pay for my plane ticket and take me fishing over there?
