“Cutthroat” by Nutnfancy (’Summer Snow’ Actual Pt 5)
Sunday, January 2nd, 2011
Cutthroat is one of my favorite parts in the Summer Snow series. The essence of the whole experience is captured in this “Summer Snow Actual Part 5:” the humor, the peacefulness of this awesome high mountain lake, the serenity of the evening, respect for life, gear talk, and the special time spent with my son LastSuspect. With the wind dying down and sun setting over the mountain, we fish. Time is spent in instruction on spin casting and the techniques needed for this location. Suspect seems to think he’s going to reel in a prize marlin judging by his stance. I had my doubts on our success but I was wrong! We catch a beautiful cutthroat trout which we elect to release since we’d eaten. This process brings drama as I struggle to save this trout’s life from the treble hook (the Leatherman S2 Juice MT saves the day again). The lake comes alive with the trout rising and feeding; many more catches could be possible but we don’t take advantage of it; we use our fish sparingly and hope you do the same. LastSuspect once again weighs in with some “bad air” during tent life which is distressing to me. We are favored by his summary of the trip originally intended only for Nutnfancy family video. Day breaks on day three of the expedition and it’s time to pack up and hike out; always a sad time for us. This was Day Two and Three of our Summer Snow adventure. Thanks for coming along. /////////////// Music: “Hidden Blues” by Pitx used under license
