Wade in. Slow down. Let the river do the talking.

From the water

Kayak: Paddled out for the view. Stayed for the rainbow. 🛶🎣 #kayakfishing #rainbowtrout
River: Misty morning, one good trout, zero regrets. Back in the river it goes. #catchandrelease #keepemwet
Lakeshore: Sunset shift on the lakeshore. Office hours: whenever they're biting. #lakelife #rainbowtrout

  9. Boots off, line in, worries out.
  10. Catch, photo, release, repeat. Ok mostly the 'catch' part needs work.

  12. Rest day. The trout are welcome to join.

What this is

Kayaks, rivers, lakeshores and the trout that live there. A small club for people who'd rather be ankle-deep in cold water. More soon.

We practice catch & release: keep fish wet, handle them gently, let them go.
