Trout fishing time!



Trout Lily was in full bloom....this flower covered the hillside. It's a small flower and must be viewed up close to really appreciate....you can drive by and only see the green plant from the road. The legend says that the native Indians who lived in our mountains long ago named this flower because its bloom was the seasonal signal that it was the time for trout fishing...also some have said its spots resemble the speckles on the sides of the trout.
