Broken Bow


The leaves are just beginning to change.


Tater was very unhappy that I had waded out beyond where he could still stand. It was heartbreaking to hear him whine and whimper. I was only 10ft from him, baby.



Caught a few trout on the standard copper john, soft hackle and crystal bugger. Good to see the mountains, a stream and some trout. Tater got to meet a few deer up close and personal and did his best impression of a bear/otter when he ate a trout. I tried explaining catch and release to him but the conservationist in him hasn't quite been developed.

Bassin


The fishing was slow, the water was low and clear and there wasn't a hint of wind. Fished a black llama clouser deep. Managed a few bass and stuck a pig then long line released her after a nice jump.
