Dan, Not my poems, Langston Hughes’ poems.

1,2, 3 strikes you’re out.

My most recent memorable construct was the high hopes of finding native, unique bonnies stashed away in a western draining stream of Oneida county Idaho. The trip started with high hopes and much fanfare…FLO being the only fan outside of TB. Alas, the trip “angled off” into a barren stretch on untouched stream and into oblivion…while the physical hardship of the return, the rainstorm and FLO’s cell phone call to a certain someone, has left a lasting impression on my mind. A temptress no more for sure. Great new trifecta of poems Scott.

Hi Jory! Thanks for taking a look at my blog and taking the time to respond.

My fishing buddy and I were close to your old stomping grounds a couple of years ago when we did a little trip to the Raft River Mountains and another trip to the Little Jack’s Creek (if you know where that is – we were fishing redbands there). It’s good to hear of others looking for those tucked away spots fishing for natives.

Nice rods! Bamboo is something I’ll have to get into one of these days.

CS I really enjoyed your site. I also fish Cache Valley and southern Idaho as much as possible. I grew up in Cassia Co. Id.. I now live in Utah county. I can see we are very much alike. I love finding those places where I will not see anyone the whole day and the fish are biting like crazy. That same lure of finding native fish haunts me also. I started building bamboo rods last year and that only makes the jouney that much sweeter. I have a blog if you would like to check it out. chasintrout.blogspot.com . thanks for the great pics and stories. jory

MDW (Forest Rat):

Quality of light. Maybe that's what's locked in my inner balance - without realizing it, maybe that's what I'm waiting for. That's certainly the case with a place I fish every autumn - I might hit it once or twice during the rest of the year, but I savor the wait until autumn. Autumn light and summer light are very different. I know temperature and color play a role.

Thanks for dropping by!

Great post.

I have visions of certain places that I would like to photograph – actually they are more like visions of a certain quality of light that falls in that place – that roll around in my head for days or weeks or months until I take my camera there. Usually I’m doing something or going somewhere unrelated to photography and something catches my eye, I file it away and let it bounce around in my head for a while, later I go back with the camera and try to capture what is in my head. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
