Silver Hilton:

Very well said.....As a young teenager in the the middle 60's, my brother and I fished "Bear Creek" close to Redmond, while it was stocked with hatchery trout, we chose to fish....way up stream, away from the easy access area's. We would practice, catch and release, with small flies. These were the small, wild rainbows and some cutthoat.

I chose not to return to that area because of the "over developement" of that whole area, but like you have memories that will last my remaining years.

Thanks for refreshing those thoughts of the middle 50's........
