Gin

I didn't mean to go fishing today. But it happened. A photo shoot wrapped up early leaving me right near a bridge over a slow, deep pool on the gin-clear Green River with an hour to spare...As I've noted before, there's always a rod strung up in my car and so just 5 minutes and two casts later I had a little rainbow jumping at the end of an extra long 7x leader...

He popped off and I could raise no more of these unseen fish from this tiny, transparent pool, but it's times like these, unplanned and catching fish in tough, unlikely water that I fish for.
