This morning on the bridge, a couple from Indiana, Pennsylvania, stopped and stood next to me. Together we gazed as the river flowed. The man asked, "Are you from here?" Realizing that this was not the time to explain the difference between a flatlander like myself and a real Vermonter, I simply said, "Yes."
He went on, "Is this a trout stream?" To this question I could say, with more confidence, "Yes!" Just a few days ago I had watched a YouTube posting of trout being caught, and released, less than a mile upriver.
"I'm a fisherman. Seeing this river makes my mouth water," he said. He looked downstream, eyes shining.
