I got all of the things done that I needed to this last Saturday, so Sunday morning I ventured off fishing. I was going to head up to where I had scouted earlier in the week. I won’t bore you with all of the details, but I fished one stream that I’m convinced has no fish in it. Actually the fish were probably hiding from all of the cows that were pissing in the stream.

I went up to another stream I had scouted and I started walking it. It was a little more like the streams I have fished in Montana. I really wasn’t expecting much on this day, which was good, because I only caught one fish. It was a brown trout that was probably 12-14 inches. Pretty good size and the first brown trout that I’ve caught (at least that I remember). The wife and I are probably going to back out this next weekend. It should be interesting. Mainly because my wife has bass fished her whole life. And Bass fishing is a whole lot different than the type of trout fishing that I do. Bass fishing is a lot of bait fishing on the edge of the lake or sitting on a boat. If your old enough you drink a lot of beer or your drink of choice. And if we had a boat, I’d be all over that type of fishing, but I don’t. Any how trout fishing, the kind we are going to be doing here, is a lot of walking and beating the brush. Yeah it should be fun!

I sure hope the rest of this work week isn’t like today. Today was just one of those days where you want to say “Fuck it…I’m going to go and be a hermit.” It was a combination of things. Mainly IQ challenged customers (I’m trying to think of nice wording for what I really wanted to say) and basically being written off for any type of “advanced” programming. I will basically be the head parser of data from now until I leave. At least that’s the impression that I’ve been given so far. Maybe it will change at some point.

Now back to studying. Yes I have summer classes. I’ve got one class this weekend (Friday 6-9 and Saturday 9-6) and one next weekend at the same time. It sucks, but it’s a mean to an end.
