Last trip before Christmas

I went to my favorite class 1 stream for one last fishing trip before Christmas (unless I can sneak out again).  The forecast was for sun, but as usual the forecasters were not quite right.  Limited sun was more like it.  The water temperature was a chilly 39 deg F.  This time I did not slip on an icy rock and fall in, like my last time out.  The fishing was very slow, although for the first time I did spot a number of fish.  My eyes must be getting better (more likely it was the lower water level).  It took a while but I did ultimately catch two browns, one on a San Juan worm and one on bead-head Whitlock's squirrel nymph.  Once again I ran into BRK TRT.  I hope that my preceding him down the stream did not ruin his time on the water.  Although the number of strikes and catches for me has declined dramatically, I am still enjoying my first fall trout fishing since I began this hobby more than 40 years ago.  Happy Holidays to everyone.
