Yesterday, I had planned to go fly fishing while my daughter was at a graduation party, but she got a ride. So, after some lab work, I went to my son’s soccer game. He had another game today, followed by his team banquet, so no fishing…postponed to tomorrow🤔 #FlyFishing #Nature #Hiking #Photography

#ThursdayThoughts A young rabbit sitting in my backyard 😊 We don’t feed it, but it feels almost like our pet 🤔 I was within a yard of it for a few minutes, but my slightest movement sent it hopping away 😅 #Yard #Backyard #Rabbit #SmallAnimal #Photography

#MidweekMotivation Chester Creek, PA Preseason soccer training has started with my son’s new team 😊 While he was on the new field, I explored a nearby creek, realizing that I’ve been this exact spot before😮 Great that it’s only six minutes from the field 😉 #FlyFishing #Nature #Hiking #Photography

Furry and untamed beauty. Dosewallips Falls thunders, its raging cascade tearing through rugged rocks and hurtling toward the canyon below. May nature's mesmerizing forces cleanse our battered souls 🌿 #WaterfallWednesday #mobilephotography #OlympicNP

Cobbs Creek (Karakung), PA Within walking distance of my home, this section of the stream no longer holds trout, but it still supports a variety of minnows and sunfish species 😉 Brook trout once thrived here, before the area was developed🥲 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Photography

#MondayMotivation Cobbs Creek (Karakung), PA One hour of fly fishing in the woods during the weekend wasn’t quite enough to get the week started 🤔 So I spent five minutes by this creek before picking up my daughter 😉 And it was a great five minutes 😊 #FlyFishing #Nature #Hiking #Photography

#FlyFishingFriday #FishingFriday Darby Creek, PA Fly fishing and beer don’t quite mix, but this pebble beach in the middle of the creek feels like the perfect spot for it 🤔 I still don’t know how to mix them, though 🤔 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Forest #Beer #Photography

#WellnessWednesday #MidweekMotivation There is usually a “hidden” (well… not really) spot just about 100 yards from a popular one 😊 Just need to stretch a little to find a gem 🤔 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Creek #Forest #ForestBathing #Science #Photography

#WaterfallWednesday #WellnessWednesday Ithan Creek, PA Not an easy spot, but I got a hit 😀 I think it was a pretty big one 😏 After about 10 seconds, it was gone 😭 The fish that gets away always feels like huge 🤔 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Forest #ForestBathing #Photography

Trying to relax while my son is at soccer practice, but I keep hearing the splash of big fish rising nearby 🙃 I don’t know what they are, and I’m not even in the mood to fish, but something about it makes me feel like I should 🤔 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Bridge #Photography

A large Smallmouth chased down and swallowed a Fallfish I caught on a tiny fly 😉 The Fallfish didn’t stay lodged in because there isn’t much structure in the Smallmouth to hold it tight 🤔 I couldn’t get the bass, the bass didn’t get the food 😭, hoping the Fallfish survives 🤔 #FlyFishing #Nature

Darby Creek, PA I had a couple of hours in the evening, so I visited my usual creek. I ran into my fishing buddy. We never plan to fish together, but when we meet, we always have a lot to catch up on😊 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Creek #Photography

#ThursdayThoughts Delaware River, PA Next to the soccer field - probably no fishing here (combined sewer overflow) - not that I’d want to anyway☹️ Next season, my son chose a club that is a bit of a drive, so lots of road time ahead🤔 But it’s near some nice trout streams😉 #FlyFishing #Photography

#MidweekMotivation #WellnessWednesday Being mindful not to disturb fish nests (redds) while wading😉 Looks like rain throughout the week 🤔 Hoping for some sun by the weekend…otherwise, I’ll be walking in the rain (but not in the creek) 😊 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Photography
