How many Goulds does it take to catch 3 brook trout?
Exactly 3.
One.

Two.

Three.

On a side note, when coming off the water we were approached by a lovely older woman who was driving through Franconia Notch while we were casting. She remarked that she thought our trio looked “quite picturesque” from the road. This is only because she did not have the exposure to the ridiculous talking, singing, and high-fiving that always infiltrate our outings.
She also remarked that “It looked like two of you were learning and one of you was an instructor.” Hmmm…now that’s an interesting riddle to try to solve.
