Woodyard presented me with the finished product on the White River this weekend.

Another quality trout. We didn't catch as many as usual but the quality was great !
Thick, healthy fish.
The master guide even took a break from babysitting me and fished a little too.

We scooped him up and set him on the bank in a sunny spot.
And of course a trip wouldn't be complete without the goodies at the end of the day.
Menu was kinda plain and simple.
High in carbs, smiles and full bellies.
Pork chops
Pork steaks
Ribeye steaks
Baked taters
Garlic bread
Freezer slaw (best part of every meal)
