As I write this follow up about our trip, I'll be back in Florida tomorrow. This year was absolutely perfect and the average trout this year was mush larger than years past. After missing last year due to my medical issues, it was so great to be out here. We hiked to some upper meadow streams and I believe one day we did close to eight miles round trip. All but three fish were caught on dry flies "my buddy Bill Lent would be proud as I caught three on a nymph" and on our last day yesterday I fished exclusively a mouse pattern and caught over a dozen between cutthroats and browns on it. It was an awesome sight to see those trout hit a top water mouse twitching on the surface. My dear friends Jim, Dana, Matt, Gail and my wife Becky made it so special. I'll always be looking forward to next year and I'll see you on the big pond in Crystal River next week... Capt. Dan
