Being a Trout Bum Recap Days 1 to 4

How to be a Trout Bum.....

Take one angler...

Add in one truck and camper to make life soo much easier...

Added bonus, my father actually attended Satuday to do some trout fishing! good thing I brought the extra lawn chair and portable awning!

Add in some wonderful campgrounds next to water...

Add in some trout....

And some great fishing action...

And throw in a cookout... even my daughters showed up for the cookout....

And a good old campfire at the end of the day....

This is the life!

Of course there were several mishaps while during the first 4 days....

Limited Cell Service if you have Sprint or AT&T. Verizon and T-mobile don't work at all along the river or campground.

Slipped on rocks in Chesterfield Gorge, got swept downstream by current, soaked cellphone which using for photos, and broke the 4 foot fly rod on Saturday.

Thunderstorms Saturday Night blew out the river, so fishing was really tough, almost non existant on Sunday. Also had the lifting mechanism on the center roof vent of the camper separtate at the gearbox making opening the vent impossible.

Monday at 4Am woke up to find a Deer Tick burrowing in my right leg, packed up quickly and drove to the nearest Emergency Room, 10 miles away on backroads. They removed it, and started me on antibiotics for next couple weeks. Also got vent fixed, $12.00 kit at Diamond RV in Northampton MA. (Right off Route 5 and 10 North)
