Beautiful brown Dave - I assume that's a PA trout.. If so, what river are you fishing? J.G.

Fine looking brown! Congratulations.

Perhaps you've supplied this information previously, but now that you have some experience with the skiff, how much water does it draft?

Dave,

Well, you certainly anticipated my next question. Out here my answer to the impertinent question of
"Where?" is "a Mississippi tributary."

The only problem with the answer "a Mississippi tributary." is that it is pretty specific. That reveals that the fish was caught somewhere in the central North American continent. To keep from revealing your favorite undiscovered places, you could just say "why, in the water, of course!" to the question of "where"
