A gentle drizzle.
An overcast sky.
Dressed in Gore-Tex and pink rubber boots.
The hugest fish I’ve ever had on sat still in the depths, steeled himself against the bite of my fly as I set it deep in his lip, shook his head once, snapped my line and stole my best streamer.
The glide of my canoe through water and the feel of a paddle in my hands.
Being with my man.
Driving home in the dark, following RW’s truck tail lights across the Fort Hall Reservation.
Satiating our appetites with BLT sandwiches at our tall farm table in our cozy kitchen.
A hot bath.

A priceless evening.
these images should go straight into an Anthropologie catalog
and my word verification is, "gables"
Thank you for reminding me, it's been a while since I took myself fishing. So glad to see your hubby home safe and sound. Thank you for also reminding me that the simplest moments are often the sweetest.
oh yeah…AWESOME day. I'm craving a good paddlin too. You need to come up to my family's cabin – we'll paddle in the bright blue cedar strip canoe and fish for jack…then we'll make curry with some and smoke the rest. HEAVENLY is what smoked pike is. mmmhmmm…..on another note, i made 3 types of jam this weekend. DELICIOUS
This post makes me smile. I'm so happy you were able to pass your Monday together, on a lovely drizzly day, in a tippy canoe. I can almost hear the paddles clang against the side.
It stopped raining here in San Fran. I'm kind of bummed, I got all of my scarves out. Oh well.
Can't wait to get my Itsy Bitsy! Enjoy your Tuesday!
What a delightful day! And what happened to the poisson?
…catch & release! This is a trophy trout section of the Portneuf River. They cannot be kept — just hooked, played, held and released.
Ahhh, bliss! 😉
Nice photos J! You are so very talented!
Lucky poisson to be residing there…
…NOTHING beats all that…
PS: love the 2 x 4 photos…and…of course the NEW Remmington!!!
Can you purchase 1 day fishing licenses for the reservation or did you and rob just go?
Thanks ladies!!!
Louisa: You can get a single day permit!!!
What color was it?
And, when did Rob go all out and buy a box of flies… and a new rod? Wholly smokes, did you hit the Lotto?
fab!!
and now I have the song from the little mermaid stuck in my head…
So beautiful!
You have a fanstastisk inspirational page.
Beautiful images and beautiful text.
Thanks for letting us in to your life.
Hope you had a fantastic day?
Thoughts from Kris
Sean: That's actually RW's SECOND rod of the season. Farley had a run-in with the first:( And the box of flies is actually MINE.
Fawney: I'm sure you do!!!
Kris: Thank you *blush* thank you!
RW looks pleased as punch. It's a good look on him. It's a good look on you.
Le siggggggghhhhh (of transfered contentment)
You guys fly fish?
I'm trying to learn!!
What is the cheapest, yet not frustrating rod and reel I can buy? They are all so expensive! We have a guide (friend) that has Orvis equipment. Oh so expensive!
