Toward the end of a learn to fly fish trip earlier this week I noticed a painted turtle in floating near the shore of the pond that seemed to be having some trouble swimming. He would float for a while head up and then try to dive without much success.
While my season is transitioning from summer to fall there is a comforting sameness to that transition. I am busy trying to get the dogs (and me) into the woods each day for some exercise, fishing on foggy mornings with changing leaves in the background and regular clients who appreciate this time of year like I do.
I offer a family fishing trip designed to introduce families with kids to fishing, over the years it has become a very popular trip. We do not fish for big fish focusing instead on perch and sunfish and it is 
possible that the kids will each catch a dozen or so fish in an afternoon.
