I have a trip to Quebec planned next month and wanted to do a little gear testing, so Ash and I loaded up and headed into our local Green Mountains for an overnight backpack to cool off at an alpine pond, and hopefully make a few casts too.
After setting up camp overlooking the pond, we headed down to the water's edge to see what was going on. There were a few bugs coming off, and as the evening progressed and we worked our way around the perimeter, I eventually heard the tell-tale sound of a jumping fish back in a cove. A few casts later, had my first of a number of hungry little alpine gems on the end of the line. All was quiet, the water turned to glass, with the occasional trout breaking through the mirror.
It was the proper way to spend an evening.
