Trout on Power Bait

Matt and I rode over to Round Valley, where I decided to see if Dave Delucca was at the ramp, instead of going directly through the main gate. He was there, and had caught two rainbows. Got to meet Matt. The three of us talked. Dave was curious about Matt's work on the fusion reactor. (I realized after we got home that I had forgotten to tell Matt that Dave's son was drafted by the Yankees. He never got to play for them, but he managed to have college paid for.)

One of our rods got hit after 10 minutes or so; Matt took it and missed the hit. We had two rods baited with shiners, two with orange Power Bait. The hit came on Power Bait. Matt insisted that the next hit would be mine.

It came as dusk began to fall and we were about to leave. Stripped line off the spool rapidly, but turned out to be a little 14- or 15-inch rainbow, on Power Bait.
