An e-mail from a happy fisherman.
Here are some pics of the trip--some pretty big looking fish.
For me, I think that was just about the perfect trip (I think that pretty much every time I go). This has been a tough fall for me for a variety of reasons, and the time on the streams has let me leave it all behind and come back refreshed and renewed.
I have also enjoyed your company on the trips. Though I bust your chops a bit, you have great people skills and a good sense of humor. Believe it or not, both those things can be sadly lacking in the world today.
As you'd expect, I work with a lot of people from a lot of different walks in life. I've seen very few people who work as hard as you do. You give your days on the water your best, and for me, at least, that has made for some truly memorable experiences. I appreciate it!
