On a mission with a stick

This fellow with the blushing red cheeks better be on the lookout Sunday when I pass by his home in the North Fork of the French Broad River. I'll be out waving that silly stick in the air again, hoping the little hook with feathers and fur on it hits the water just right and tempts Mr. Trout into gulping it with gusto.

Or else, I could go hunting for brookies near the Blue Ridge Parkway.

It should be a decent weekend for fly fishing.

Report later.
