As the blizzard subsided I was lying on my belly on a rock in the river shooting water level images when I glanced not ten feet from my right side and beheld noses…not one or two but schools. I put away the pixel machine and scrambled up the bank back to my rig and loaded myself with tackle and down I went to the water. I fished for less than two hours, got eleven fish, all on dry flies. One was 11 inches and the rest, a mix of browns and rainbows, were from 14 - 18. There was still some occasional rising fish but since I could not feel my feet and I had to drive out of the canyon on a slippery road I called it a day and what a day it was!

Ken took this photo several days ago on a fishing trip. Sounds like it was an amazing experience he will not soon forget.
This has been a different sort of week. We lost water for several hours then discovered mid day the following day that the water we were drinking and using was contaminated. Those of us who live in town and are on city water are picking up water from Ennis city hall until they get test results back on Tuesday.

We take many things for granted in life. Not having something we rely on daily give us the opportunity to appreciate it even more.
It is wonderful to have the temperatures warming a little. The sights and sounds of spring are everywhere. I love waking to the sound of the birds. It is daylight earlier and later as our days get longer. The town is waking up as businesses prepare for our summer visitors.
