Spent a few days with VTFlyfish and Upstate Dave. The weather was cold and windy but the fish were definitely on the bite. With a hot dry summer I was wondering about the condition of the fish but they were all in superb shape in every pond we fished. It seemed like every time we saw a fish rise we were able to catch it. Great way to end the season and a big thanks to Upstate Dave for a warm bed in his camp and to VT for bringing the Whistle Pig. As an added bonus I got to meet forum member Blue Quill. VT has most of the pictures so I’m sure he’ll be along in the next day or two to post them up.

That looks like an awesome trip! I am always astounded by not just the size, but also the colors of the fish you guys manage to catch. Cannot wait to see the rest of the pics!--------------------------------------------------------------

In the smothering reek of mill and mine;
And death stalks in on the struggling crowd?
But he shuns the shadow of the oak and pine?

It was a great end to the season with good friends. None better and damn few as good.
also got to spend a day with our esteemed fly fisher emeritus Creekwader. And Bluequill, so sorry that your first encounter with this group was Glen. That impression will certainly be a difficult one to erase from your memory.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

So glad you guys got together and caught some big beautiful brookies ! They are so pretty in their fall attire! Heck of a fight I’m sure. Thanks for sharing your trip with us guys!"Get your mind off trout,if you can.I know they`ve got you.I can see it. Every fraternity of sufferers knows its brothers.Trout hook men;men don`t hook trout.Better try and throw the hook while you can.By the time you`re a grown man there probably won`t be a pure trout healthy enough to fiddle with"...
