Bows & Browns on the Lackawaxen

Caught this nice strong Rainbow on the Upper West Branch of the Lackawaxen in PA. This fish was torpedoed out of the water 3 times while I was bringing her in...about 3 to 4 feet out of the water!

A nice Brownie caught by my buddy minutes earlier.

Trying to take advantage of the sunlight...tying on a small elk hair caddis

Guitar Player - Robert Johnson

This is an older pastel drawing that I pulled out of hiding. The piece hangs in a private collection in Devon, PA. Robert Leroy Johnson is the most influential Delta Blues Artist impacting all of the blues we listen to today. So, he sang the blues back then in the Missisipi Delta...imagine how blue he would be now if he knew about BP?
