Opening Day: "Gee, It Sure Is Beautiful Out Here"

I’d love to bash out a couple hundred carefully considered words about opening day, but the L&T and I are pretty worn out from saying good-bye to an ailing pet (Macy the Cat, 14 years), and I just don’t feel like writing.
At least not about fly fishing.
Instead, I’ll give you the one-paragraph summary.
Dave Edmondson and I fished the Upper McCloud, didn’t fish the water we wanted because of other fishermen, hiked a good five miles, and each hooked a couple trout, though in a stunning display of technical skill, didn’t land any of them.
The pictures, frankly, are more interesting than the story:
It’s been a long winter, and the first warm days aren’t all about fly fishing.
Yesterday, you couldn’t (legally) fish this water. Today’s it’s just as beautiful.
Still snow on the ground — including the drift that ate my truck the day before.
Dangerous predators infest the river.
Gotta fish bamboo on opening day. Gotta.
See you on the river, Tom Chandler.
