An evening walk to catch a wild trout

I took and walk to the river after 7:00 PM to try to catch another wild rainbow trout. Landed and released unharmed a beautiful 17″ wild rainbow. No doubt, one of the top trout streams in the USA.  What a thrill on an 1950 built Jim Payne 97 with a Leonard Model 44 reel, silk line and 12′ leader and a size 14 Prince Nymph (bead-headed).
