Limestone historically, is our last group outing of the year. That doesn't mean were done, still we have small groups of anglers on the water. 8 vets, 8 vols and 4 members of from the Limestone trout club had a great day on the water.

So there were highs and lows to this outing. First the lows...

Antointe, one of our assistant program leads was walking down the center of a flat dirt road, when he became distracted, and fell on his shoulder. We later determined it was a broken collarbone. I drove his truck, took him to UCONN and he was home in about 2 hours. Aside from the fact it will take 4 to 6 weeks to heal, he is comfortable and not in pain.

As for the highs, Bob S, left, pulled in another brown, I think for the 3rd consecutive year.


Jim B, new to our program pulled in 2 browns for the day, great huh, except he dropped his phone into the deep end of the pond, but he's still smiling.
