DennisLinkletter Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 Hello Michael and welcome to the forum.. I'm please to have you here and jealous because I have not been trout fishing in years.. I miss the hunt involved in fly fishing, my great grandfather tied his own flies and wrapped his own poles and had the patience to explain it all in great detail to a 6 year old boy.. As you know smells trigger memories, when I was young we used to go camping up in the Sierra mountains and go trout fishing every year. A wet trout has a distinct smell that is very different for some reason from any other fish. When I smell a wet trout today I'm flooded with childhood memories. Every time I see your avatar I flash on the smell and get this partial flood of memories again.. We're sure funny animals.
