The river fish just won’t leave

The fall color was spectacular along the river. I took this photo about halfway between Asotin and Couse Creek.

Couse Creek originates east of Anatone and trickles briskly into the Snake River halfway between Asotin and Heller Bar.

Another pleasant day on the Snake River, watching fish jump but not on our lures. . . .After a while we headed upstream to a beach where Couse Creek trickles into the Snake, cast our lines for a couple of hours, and enjoyed the scenery immensely. Several cockle burrs, unlike the cautious trout, showed a clingy affinity for us and hitched on to our clothing for the trip home.
