When you take a person fishing

When you take a person fishing

Years ago Airstream Caravans were stopping in our community

i was going river fishing with my buddy Tim the next day

decided to stop in and ask if any one want to come fishing

a few guys said try trailer #74

older guy and his wife came to the door

he said he would love to but it was his anniversary

she said your going as she was not feeling great and would stay

the next morning we met him at the Little Berland river(map i gave)

down we went to where the Big Berland confluence is

i made sure he was set up right and gave him the first cast

right away the Bull trout came swirling out from under old bridge

as it hit i yelled its on and he flipped it up on bridge in one motion

well the bridge was only a quarter of what it should be and slanted

so the fish bounce around a bit and got off the hook

as it was flipping and heading toward the river i made a grab n got it

when we sent him home he had his limit of nice big Mountain Whitefish too

the next at work i got a phone call from my Bro at his garage

he had 11 guys from the Caravan looking for me

still talk about that day with Tim

he had a special day of fishing

My American cousin

fun time's

Great story David.

Do you remember the year of the big gas well blow out on the Berland? It was in the early 70's when Highway 40 was sort of still a goat trail.

Nothing still seems to want to grow on that site.
