On the road at 5:30 a.m. to head to some trout waters. St. Patrick's Day... A day that we are all Irish! Haha
Now, come on!!! 30% of snow means that the weather has a chance to mess with your day. But, on the bright side, it's warmer when its snowing. Right?
Ok! Let's do this!
I'm happier now...
My buddy's turn for a nice catch.
And a little chromer wannabe for the Damsel!
So glad that I stayed up late to tie some flies...
A cold, windchill of a day. But, it was a good day catching. Maybe it had something to do with having the luck of the Irish... I did wear my four leaf clover hat...

A few fun facts about St. Paddy's Day.
It's my oldest daughter's birthday! She just wanted a birthday cake each year with a leprechaun and a pot of gold on it!
The shamrock was originally a three leaf clover and according to legend, was used by St. Patrick to explain the Trinity.
In 1962, city officials of Chicago decided to dye a portion of the Chicago river green as a yearly tradition. They did it again this year. 40 lbs of green dye in a quarter mile stretch of the river. (We have a Green River in Utah that we don't need to dye... )
Corned beef and cabbage is an Irish American dish.
Irish Americans who immigrated from Ireland were very poor and this was a meal that was the most affordable at the time. It has become a staple for the holiday ever since. (If they could only see the price per lb. now!!)

So, St. Patrick's day has come and gone. But, not without a crock pot meal of corned beef and cabbage. Darn, it was so good that there are not any leftovers to make corned beef hash. I guess it's the protein shake again for breakfast. = ) That is a serving plate to feed 4 by the way. Hahahaha
Enjoy your week.
