fishing or hiking?

   Lately I've been getting skunked.  my last two outings have resulted in 12 dace or some shit, 8 pumpkins and a rock bass. no trout.
   Am I still at this point actually fishing? It feels like I'm simply a hiker who chooses to hike with extensive fly-fishing tackle.  At least I'm getting in some good exercise.
  Today was no exception. I fished some familiar waters, saw tons of trout in 12-18" range, and managed to catch nothing but fuckin dace, or whatever those little silver shits are.    Oh well, not a total skunk, but not exactly catching either.

there were some decent 10-12" ers hiding in that strip of shade, and it went on for like 50 yards.  Should have been perfect for like 2 or 3 fish, but i didn't get any

This spot is awesome looking. I call it the Canyon bend. the Stream bed is literally like an underwater canyon.  deep, cold, and holding fish.  none that I could fool.
 
However over the last few days, I have Twice been very happy that I was fully prepared for a fishing hike. Can you guess?

Thats right. Toilet Paper. thank goodness. Always carry a small roll of dry toilet paper! at least when I have a shitty day of fishing, I dont smell of it
 That awesome Dogfish is like 18%alc so after the 2 Newcastle, I was feelin great at like noon in the woods, Hahaha . hey dont judge, it's my vacation week.
