You just caught your first trout. And now you’re hooked. The sun sets as you hike back to your truck. You’re think to yourself, “Do those trout I caught today taste as good as what I buy in the store?”.
I’ve eaten a few of the trout that I’ve caught, I won’t lie. And they all tasted mighty good.
But I don’t eat the trout I catch anymore…
I’ve grown to appreciate trout for their prowess, might, power, and selectiveness. With that, I’ve gained respect.
There’s always a lot of talk about the environment these days, and rightfully so. Our resources on this planet are limited, and we’ve all witnessed people abusing the planet in a myriad of ways, whether it be throwing something out the car window, cigarette butts on the ground, dumping some garbage in a field in the middle of nowhere, oil spills, and the list goes on. It’s always bothered me when I see litter, and I often find myself picking stuff up that I didn’t leave there, especially when I’m on the stream.
