Black steelhead hammer AKA black estaz stone fly. Thought about keeping as she had a line down her gullet and the other gill plate was damaged. I snipped the line off inside her mouth and she revived OK so off she went. Rained, snowed, hailed and the sun even came out for a split second. Crowds were still pretty fierce in town as I went to the LFZ first and decided it was not worth it. Was rewarded at this spot with no one in sight after a short hike. I have to think about tomorrow as things may be looking good for a little trip.
Picked up a new pair of cheap stocking foot neos at Pineville. Wanted to get the Frogg Togg ones, but the larges were too tight and the XLs were too long. Went with a pair of Allens. Dale was great, let me try on like 4 pairs. Best part is their price was a few $$$ cheaper than online. Got a little sweaty walking today, but they are much warmer than the breathable ones AND my foot did not get wet. Plenty of room for 2 pairs of wool socks if I don't tighten up the buckles of the boots super tight.
