Trolling for trout.  Can you spot the green fly fishing line, over the fly fisher's right shoulder and the stern of the canoe?

This is Mike's new plate.  He tells us that near the end of every trip, he says "This will be the last cast".  He says it over and over and over... :-)

Under partly cloudy skies, temps. were back closer to seasonal today, although S.E. Alta still managed to see temps. in the high 20’s this aft. Tomorrow will be very similar to today, although there is a better chance of t-showers developing late in the day as a cold front pushes s. through our area. Behind the front, blustery, wet and chilly weather will prevail much of Fri. so hold onto your umbrella! The weather will clear Fri. night, and after a cool but dry weekend , a gradual return to seasonal temps. is expected for next week.
