"Today is the day that we celebrate having enough to eat by eating as much as we possibly can" is how our daughters describe this day. i also give thanks for streams and trout, Jason's site, the educational and entertaining posts on it, and the friends discovered here. Happy Thanksgiving!

I echo your sentiments, Casey. I hope everyone will have a great day, with good food, family and friends.

A HAPPY THANKSGIVING, to everyone on the site!
This is a great time to stop and be thankful for all the free things we are given in life. Not those things;"We're lucky enough to afford", but rather things like that one special fishing trip we were able to make, this past year. That perfect cast, we really believed we couldn't make,(and made the hook up, because of it!).
My neighbor and fishing partner, are always thankful this particular holiday too, because Henry H.and I get our winter tying supply of turkey flats, quills, etc. free too!

Well, full of turkey, I sit here and am glad to see the good will. And some exciting reports of fish running in the tribs. Tight lines to all who can fish now, and happy planning to those looking to the spring with winter tying and rigging.
