Quarantine has closed campgrounds, state and national parks but not fishing. This is good news for us.
Once a week we head to our favorite stream with lunch and fly rods. Tip finds joy in both the ride up to the river and running the riparian.
If we are not both fishing, then Tip divides his time between JQ’s photographic adventures and checking in on Jack.
Enough time has been spent on rivers to develop good manners, for the most part. At some point in the day a stick is discovered, dropped at someone’s feet and thus a game of fetch is initiated … though it often involves much vocal encouragement.
This day was a bit different. Instead of a stick, Tip discovered a ball.
Bright orange, this lost dog toy became a treasured possession and required numerous rounds of ball throwing.
The shade side of a picnic table offers excellent cooling to rest up between expeditions.
What a treasure, Tip!
