Today was the sort of days I had in mind for a light rowing boat. After three days of rain and being stuck inside, the rains stopped and the sun started peaking out by early afternoon. I had a few hours to kill, tossed Sundew on my 8 foot utility trailer, tied it down with two lines and drove the 2 miles to the closest water.
I rowed across the small chop to the windward more sheltered side of the pond and started trolling a fly along the South shore. But I'd been a bit too eager, a strong rain shower passed overhead. Luckily I'd tossed a water resistant shell into my day pack but it didn't' help my legs--I'd worn shorts! LOL. If not for the rowing I would have been cold. No sign of trout feeding either.
The shower passed, the wind dropped to a gentle breeze, and a burst of sunshine crossed over me and created a nice rainbow. I made my way back to the ramp, ending the day with another rainbow display. A bit wet and cold I'm still aglow from a good day in the Pacific Northwest.
