It was time to do our part.  Quickie and I went out to help clean up the Curd river.  We were assigned a short stretch downstream from the Club, where we picked the area clean of cigarette butts, cans, and the random car axle.  After a lovely lunch of chicken and dumpling soup, it was time to fish.

We decided to find some new water, away from the other cleaning hordes.  We found a spot between the Gallery and Methtell, and wandered around in a light rain.  As usual, I caught some dinky, but beautifully colored brook trout, and one of a somewhat respectable size.  Every decent trout I had on popped off.  The action was about the same for QD, who also landed a decent brookie.  The highlight of this area was our close encounter with some milk cows.  Here, you see the tail end of a cow urinating.  And that, my friends, is where curds come from.
