Should auld acquaintance be...

“My dear Watson, the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime.”

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

After a hiatus of two weeks, the Tangler finally found time to go fishing on June 16. This was a pressing matter, as a column was due and I needed grist for the mill. The question was what my destination should be. Trout Brook was a long ride out and a long ride home in the dark. The Delaware off the mouth of Hankins Creek was ripping along and wading would be limited. A tributary then. Why not the brook where I had such success four weeks ago? Indeed, why not. This would perhaps give me a chance to meet old friends. Both of those large trout had been released and quite possibly could be tempted again.
