October fish

Fishing in Vermont's Lewis Creek ends on October 31st.  Wanting to squeeze every opportunity out of my 50 something dollar license, I headed up on the 26th for a day of fly fishing with a Chef friend who works out of Burlington, VT.

Nice ride up.  Bit past leaf season, so the colors were faded but the leaf peepers who screw up traffic flow any time they can were not to be seen. Love the Vermont countryside with its mountains, farms and covered bridges.  KEEP VERMONT WEIRD.

As for the fish, it was a bust.  Not anything more than a half assed nibble.  As for the fun and camaraderie; a great day.  Got some casting practice and alot of laughs.

After changing out of our waders, we decided to track down some Switchback Ale.  It was only the second week since the bottled version of this delicious libation became available and the locals were buying it up. 

On our way we stumbled upon this little pizza place that does brick oven style pizza and only on fridays from 4:30 to 7.  These nice folks do it because they love it, not because they need to do it.









Kicked back with our ale while we devoured our pizzas and told fish stories.
