"Object Of Obsession"
Trout have been an object of obsession for me ever since my uncle showed my three beautiful trout he had caught. He had left me standing on a bridge while he worked upstream with his fly rod. When he returned after an hour the fish lit a long burning fire in me. Later he cooked and we enjoyed a meal of trout.
I caught this fish last week in a stream in SW Wisconsin in a beautiful spring creek. I took his picture and then removed the barbless fly and set him free.
fall trout
caught in clear, cold water
a memory for winter
