Trout distress
Friday, October 9, 2009 Well, I went to Tuscany with my 3 weight fly rod; walked down the valley to the river with a small tin of flies.
No go. The river was showing its bones. The water temperature was high; a heat wave and drought. My heart wasn't in it. The trout were probably barely surviving, gasping for oxygen. I wasn't about to make things more difficult for them.
And that's it!
There are times when it's not right to fish!

Hey, great site. It seems hard not to know when to hold off on fishing, but to make that call. I respect your decision though. Not everyone cares about the fishery. I linked to your site from mine (pacificnorthwestflyfishing.com), I would be honored if you felt inclined to reciprocate. Brian
Hi Brian
Thanks and I have reciprocated.
Tight Lines!
