This is my favorite time of year. Crisp air fills my lungs, water temperatures are still warm enough to swing hair-wing flies, and upland game bird season starts tomorrow. The dogs and I were to anxious to wait for the opener and I wanted to see Nelly work, so I set out on a hike along the river to swing a fly and let the dogs run (without a gun). Nelly held a point on a rooster and Cedar found a hen and I found a Steelhead. What a good day!
