The Kettle Creek-2
I received this e-mail from my friend Robert yesterday.
---------------------------------------------------
The trout season is off to a great start. I have 2 trips to the Kettle Creek so far. It's so nice with the new 5th wheel.
This last time I spent 4 days on the creek. Each day I would be up and about before dawn. As soon as dawn broke I was on the creek and fishing.
Normally I was by myself. It is a beautiful time of day. The trout were hungry and catching was fairly easy.
I'm sending you some digital pics I shot of a beaver. This is a female with young kits.
She defends her territory and will chase you if you get to close for her liking. These little critters built the dam in the pics I sent last time.
hey do that with sticks and mud.
The second picture is of my close friend James Kelley, his Father,Wendell, and his two sons.
Jim and I have managed to fish together most years since 1963. Of course, a war and college and careers got in the road sometimes.
Jim's father taught us how to fish with bait and basically invented the system of using a spinning reel with a fly rod.
It's worked every year since 1963 and I see no reason to change

Kamikatsu & Kisawa river
I went to flyfishing for the first time of this season.
Only 2 hours can have done fishing but I caught five.
The fish is small but flyfishing is interesting.
I used the parachute of #16.
The day, Michio(my friend) went to the fishing,too. I received news from him.
----------from saijyou------------
I went to "Yarito river" of "Kisawa" on March 9th.
I fished from 15 o'clock to 18 o'clock.
There was rise because it rained 2 days before.
It is the best condition.But, I could catch only six.
