...or "Midge" as her close friends would call her. We had our first date on a boyhood brook trout stream and we really hit it off, we picked up several brookies in short order before we were off to explore some other streams I haven't fished in years.
I think I'm in love.

Love that show, and eventually I'll finish my own Midge and see what all the fuss is about....

Looks like water to me. You don't see any on the photo of the against the tree.

Yes, water on the grip from unhooking the fish. I tried to tone down the highlights on the image because the cork was too bright in the sun and the wet cork turned yellow/orange in the process.
