Talk about good fortune… ‘catching’ trout bait and then a passel of
fresh trout! Just in time for dinner!
Seems the neighbors are lightening their load
a bit. The guys from Alabama had an
early AM departure and no longer needed trout bait. I thanked them for the fishing advice and
bait before wishing them a safe journey.
A bit further down
the road Bob gets out of his truck with a bag filled with trout, ten to be
exact which is the creel limit. As I
admired his catch he said “You want these, I don’t have time to clean
them. I have to fix a leak from a
fitting that broke with the freeze.”
Now, my mother did not raise a fool so I said “Why thank you. How about if I clean them and bring them
back?” But Bob said “My box is filled
with fish from yesterday, you can have them.”
So, I headed back to camp with a shopping bag filled with
trout. As I pulled out the knives,
bowls, and newspaper to clean the fish Billy said “Want some help?” Again, my mother did not raise a fool so I
said “Certainly. What do you want me to
do?” Billy replied, “Bring another bowl,
I’ll cleaned them.”
Pretty good day!
