Brooke and Andrew fish on !!

Perhaps the greatest joy in my life comes from the moment captured in this photo. My daughter Brooke Riedy helping our family friend Andrew Mulligan battle a nice Rainbow Trout during the winter catch and release season at Bennett Spring State Park in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks.

Nice Rockbridge Rainbow

Here is nice rainbow caught on a San Juan worm in November 2009 in the Catch-n-Release waters between Rockbridge and Bryant Creek.

This spring-fed Spring Creek offers a variety of conditions for fly-fishing rom beautiful rapids to slow moving currents, sunny shallows to shaded deep pools. Crystal clear waters, a gorgeous waterfall, towering trees, and monumental bluffs are just part of the spectacular setting.

The photo on the left shows the General Store/Post Office circa 1955
