Fishing ramblings

It has been a long time since I have had time to write. I am sorry and please bear with me. Anyways I went fishing yesterday and in Montana it was 34 degrees. Now if you think fishing is sitting in a chair throwing a worm you have it wrong. Real fishing is as an old angler put it "standing in a river and waving a stick." What he was talking about was flyfishing. Flyfishing is a lot harder than the old" throw a worm" in and I won't go into details other than to flyfish is to have patience and to practice a lot. When you finaly catch a fish you get an ego that says you can catch anything because you know the strategy. You get humbled when a kid with a stick and bent hatpin for a hook sells you his fish he caught with a worm. If you apply what you learn it does make you a better fisherman. Well back on subject it was cold while I fished and if I had stayed longer I might have caught something but I did not stay more than an hour because it was time for dinner.Now a hour is not much fishing by my standards but I will take an hour fishing in the snow to one hour shoveling snow. So I went fishing and had a lot of fun. I rambled and I'm sorry but thanks for bearing with me on this. I had to write something and finaly just a brain teaser. What is the scientific name for brook trout? Thanks and goodbye:)

Salvelinus Fontinalis is his christian name,
though his friends call him Sal for short.

Salvelinus is his family name, because he is a God fearing Char.

His mother named him Fontinalis because he jumps about like a fountain.

I guess there is hope for you yet, if you keep working at it....

Brain teaser for you:
"Salmonidae is divided into how many groups, and what are their names?"

P.S.-
I am really busy right now. (Aunt Jenn's Birthday, work, house stuff, etc.)

I will try to find some time for our family to make it down to Billings in time for the two of us to go BEAR HUNTING.

I am tired and it is late, so
Ciao

I do not have much time to hunt but fishing is a different matter altogether.
