outdoors: Dr. Randall Forsch fishes to a place back in time

I've known Dr. Randall Forsch for more than 10 years as my primary care physician. We've hardly ever talked about our personal lives, probably due to our doctor/patient relationship. I did, however, know that Dr. Forsch loved to fly fish. It was a complete surprise and a pleasure when I received the story below from Dr. Forsch in an email last week.
I hope this story resonates with you as it did for me. Thank you Dr. Forsch for allowing all of us to read your story:
When I moved to Chelsea from the Snake River country of Idaho and Eastern Oregon in 1995, I knew I’d miss many things, including the beauty of the high desert, the rugged mountains and the wonderful friends Christine and I made as we started our family.
That which I miss the most is the cold water of the rivers and lakes and its resident trout of brown, cutthroat, bull and rainbow hues. I grew up in Michigan and truly enjoy fly fishing the steelhead and salmon runs and for resident browns and brookies, but nothing compares to angling in the scenic beauty of the West, especially when the fish cooperate.
