"Fred, where is north?"
"North? North is there, my love
The brook runs west."
"West-running brook then call it."
(West running brook men call it to this day.)
- Robert Frost
I had a free New Hampshire morning between a bridal dinner and a wedding a couple July's ago. Took my 3 weight Winston to a west running brook which New Hampshire manages for wild trout.
Lots of creeping and crawling and sidearm casting with a royal wulff. If if did things right I found this...
I came to a larger pool where some skittish fish were in the sunshine.
No takers here but I did better dead drifting a size 16 partridge and orange in a shaded pool above.
I never grow tired of fishing blue lines.
