A great moment

AJ hooked into a nice trout feeding in the seam. It was a gorgeous day after two quite rainy ones. The sun was high, wind still, trout up, not a cloud. The trout glowed in the river and we had a great time sighting. This photo came by chance, as I snapped shots while she fought the fish.

We do this as we see that temperatures back home dip to -25. Not to think we're gloating (for today anyway) as two more days of rain saw the river depth increase by 2.4 m - about 7 1/2 vertical feet at the reporting station - after the small drainage got 400mm of rain. In Alberta that would be a total disaster. Here, we'll be sight fishing on that one by two days from now, if not tomorrow afternoon. It's rather dramatic as the country is built to withstand the weather. We told our friends of the thunder all day 2 days ago and it was perhaps their 4th or 5th time hearing of thunder anywhere near them. It is different. :)

Happy snow shoveling as we head to a lake in the morning - hope for some sight cruising and sight fishing.
