27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Re: What did you do on the Fourth of July? I went fishing...for a little while...

It's milkweed season! Butterfly weed, Asclepias tuberosa

Monarch food, common milkweed - and I saw several monarchs in the vicinity, a good sign!

Gotta throw in a little New Jersey Tea...

Re: Help with a fair price for fly tying gear & feathers

This is the lot of stuff to sell. Some of the feathers were obviously no good so I tossed them. The feathers flat on the table were in his fly tying tackle box.
