A young man fly fishes for rainbow and brown trout in northern Vermont.
Fishing on the Barton River 1947 by Henry Burt Stevens 2/17/2004 River bottomed farm land ox-bowed fudge colored flow banks caving in as strong summer rains cut deeper curves. Walking pussy footed flyfishing the ripples i now and then make catch landing a silver steelhead. The road a half mile away can be heard, not loud the gurgle from a tipped in tree i pop a wild cucumber The sun has dipped, the air chills a farmer turns off his put-put engine water drips from my line as i reel in walking home in darkness eating fresh picked clover blossoms.

Yes this does remind you of fishing on any river. I did not learn to fly fish until about five years ago.

Wonderful nostalgic write, Henry - reminded me of some of my younger days - chasing those elusive trout.
