It doesn't matter whether you're four or fourty , those three things together are the ingredients for having a fun filled day. My best friend had been left at home on the last two trips because I was fishing out of a driftboat so I figured that I owed him one. Friday presented us with the perfect opportunity so Joe and I slipped away and spent the day fishing a nice little White Ribbon trout stream in search of rainbows and browns.
While the fish had our number and we only brought to hand three little stocker rainbows all day , the upper fifties temps and abundant sunshine made it a glorious day to be on the water.
I think the title of the post pretty much describes the remainder of the day sufficiently well , so I'm just going to let the pictures tell the rest of the story........
You are right, every picture tells a story, and, what a great looking story it was! Good looking best friend, and, a fine looking trout stream.
ReplyDeleteYour right on.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Rainbow Chaser - Thank you very much , it just doesn't get much better.
ReplyDeleteBrkTrt - When you stop and think about it, the really good things in life are pretty simple. You know exactly what I mean...I can tell from reading your own posts.
Thank You!
Forgive my ignorance but what is the designation difference beween White, Red, and Blue ribbon streams in Missouri. I have seen the terms often but am unfamilar with what they mean.
ReplyDeleteAtlas - White Ribbon basically means any type bait is legal and you can keep your five fish of any species. These fish are put and take and the MDC treats it as such , any fish with an appetite for rainbow power bait goes home in a bucket.
ReplyDeleteBlue Ribbon usually indicates some if not all natural reproduction and special regs apply (usually C&R).
Red Ribbon means some stocking is done but the streams are not treated as a put and take area , special regs generally apply as to length and creel limit.
Can't hardly beat that for a day!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!
ReplyDeleteKevin - An enjoyable way to spend the day without a doubt. Could have used a little more catching , but it would have just been icing on the cake.
