@fishinwrench Your memories of the trout parks go back farther than mine. I don't think I even knew about them before 1984-5ish.

Back to 1969, believe it or not.  

 

Good grief I'm getting old!   🥴

And I'd never heard of those fly rod jigs until they came up on this forum.

You weren't missing out on anything. 

Nothing but fodder for outlet fishermen.

Gettin' there!    I don't feel that old, but the numbers don't lie.    🙄  Hell Ronnie, I had 5 grown adults under my control before you were even born !   😂

I prefer to call it "experienced".    I have paid pretty close attention to everything that has gone on around me for 59 years, (listen, process, file away, and take notes on how it all worked out),  and I haven't started forgetting any of it yet.    I figure that I have another 7-9 years of supreme intelligence gathering before I start forgetting things and buying into all the BS that everyone else is talking about.   😅   

I'm a pretty deep thinker.  😉

I remember '69, the year I was a ranch hand in northern Nevada, dark to dark  on horseback and town once or twice a month. Went in the Navy in '70 after the lottery of "69... Had our 50th wedding anniversary last week. I have forgotten more than I know, but can still recall the important things, so I guess I'm not quite old yet, but I'm gettin there a day at a time.

I can tell you this about Wrench, he is not aging as well as a fine French wine.
