Lazy trout fishing

[lesged]

This is not the elegant fly fishing way to catch trout, but it's the way I do it at Lake Cochituate. It was recently stocked with 1000 trouts: browns, rainbow and brookies. And about 15 salmons.

These two photos were taken this morning about a half hour apart.

Looks pretty serene, Les. Get your fishing in while you can, going to be 90 on Monday.

Les, Les don't tell me the poetry has left your soul?!  Being peaceful is all very well ... but surely you used to cast a fly in the Arno? (nice shots btw, held the clouds well).

Look at all these Florentines who fly fish!  I don't know what to think ;-)

"Gianluca grew up in Florence, starting fishing in the Arno river as a small boy with his father. With his friends, some of them Fly Fishing Italy guides now, he discovered fly fishing at the age of 20, and his determined commitment to the Brown Trout earned him the nickname of “Brown”. Enjoying fly fishing also includes taking care of the local rivers and streams, and helping out in the spawning season.
 
New members, from the Italian National Fly Fishing Team, have recently joined our staff. This expansion coincides with Italy’s growing awareness and responsibility towards its streams installing a “Catch and Release” system. Today more than ever the well known regions of Tuscany and Umbria can provide very good fishing in their “Fly Fishing Only” waters.
 
Nicco (the name by which he is better known) counts with 16 years of guiding experience. In the USA he guided in Montana for 4 years. In Argentina, he started guiding 12 years ago and continues to do so, while in Italy he his entering his 7th season. He owns Fly Fishing Top in Florence and has fly-fished since the age of 8.
