Ahh, an opportunity to talk about fishing. Not that I've had the time, of course. But I did get to wet a line in the Mystic River last night while attending a picnic. No bites, but there are shad in the river, or so I'm told.
For some reason, this time of year, being too early for the fall striper run, I'm drawn back to trout fishing. I love using terrestrial flies on hot summer nights. Being the busy professional and parent that I am, my head only has so much room for dry fly patterns and hatch times. Throwing ants and grasshoppers to hungry trout is just fine by me.
