Traces

What trace
Of fish madness
Remained
When trout
Leaped
And
Frothed
The water,
Mayflies
Brushed away
In silence.

Trout

The river runs clear
The snow has gone
The bank behind me
Starts to crack in the sun
I can see the trout
And the trout 
Can see me .

Crafty Ole Brown Trout

Crafty ole brown trout
lurks behind that sunken log.
My fly snags a branch.

Tommy Trout

The patience of the lonesome Fisherman, 
Waiting to catch Tommy Trout. 
He’ll have to wait a long time though,
Tommy’s not in, he’s gone out!

Premium Member About Trout

If ever, you had any doubt 
When I fished, I'd not catch me a trout 
I've got fine expertise, so pardon me please 
While I cast my line out and about

Caught Cold Trout

Caught Cold Trout

Beyond a shadow of a doubt
went fishing to catch some cold trout
I only did caught
a cold and wet dot
along came a real walk of clout

Premium Member Branches Hide Dark Trout

branches hide dark trout
swimming beneath truth of light
floating secret lives
in deep wanton quiet pools
verity lives amongst them

Premium Member The Trout and the Turtle

the turtle remarks to the trout
do you want that worm
it would be a nice morsel
replies the trout
but I could take 
insects of the surface
you would be too slow
for that, added the trout
that may be true
the turtle replied, and added
but
do either of us
really need that hook
the worm is on

so they left it
for the carp.

Premium Member TROUT LOVE

she called it love
A cloak against the winds
Of ideath and loneliness
But Brautigan and multi-colored days
Were like a stranger to her
There was never a trout in her
Dreams; nothing as warm as Margaret
Between us

It wasn't love, not like Pauline
Not close or real like the fine
Berries we shared for breakfast.

She called it love but it wasn't

The Australian

Ben is Australian, a BBQ king,
Burning and scorching meat is just his thing.

He came from Aus some years ago, and met his own lovely English rose.

He still has an accent, but has learnt to call his friends mate, instead of just cobber,
He loves fly fishing because you carry less clobber.

Ben's prefect day would be to catch a trout,
Then BBQ it and share it about

Premium Member Trout, Trout Nursery Rhyme

Rainbow trout, rainbow trout so long and stout Dancing at the end of my curved small hook So excited I'll jump round and shout Then for handsome baby Johnny I'll cook Green-eyed baby Johnny will dine just fine He will have applesauce on his left side Hushpuppies fried, grapes from garden's vine Then slowly to sleepy-land he will glide

Little Trout

In the river I saw a little trout 
A silver flash amongst river weed.
I watched him swim and dart about
This little fish was fast indeed.

I saw him in shimmering glances
As he shot along the river bed,
Performing his lively dances
Like an arrow, how he sped.

My, this little trout could move
To watch him race it seemed to me,
He was lost in the joy of living.
The joy of being wild, and free.

The Choice

There are 2 of us on the boat, trying our best to catch a big rainbow trout,
We tried so many flies but none seemed to work, throwing our plans into doubt.

There are wet flies and dry ones, but which one will work best,
So we keep on perservering put each fly to the test.

I tried a dry fly one that was gently floating,
When a trout suddenly grabbed it, a beautiful fish, I looked at my mate but I admit I just couldn't help gloating!

Premium Member Gorgeous Day For Steelhead Trout

The sun peeks out in a shy way,
Unsure whether the day is to be cool or warm
Pink clouds parade their truth in a dark sky
Appearing fiery as a well stoked campfire

The dock is silent; not a peep.
Fish slumber in cold waters, glad for the silence
My feet seem incredibly loud as I walk the dock
I hear a loud splash and I smile.

A gorgeous day for steelhead trout
They are here for the taking, 
I feel we have a communion 
My line enters the water smoothly, and I wait.
