Red foxes can be found throughout the continental United States from Alaska to Florida. 🦊
They eat rodents and rabbits, but they will also eat birds, amphibians, and fruit. Their ability to find food, even during the winter, is one reason why red foxes have a reputation for being cunning and smart.

This is one of creeks that I fly fish in February and March when my home creeks (Darby and Ridley) are closed to fishing. I am happy to see trout are thriving 😊 Trout are hiding around the boulder 🤫

A guided fly fishing tour was going on when I arrived my usual place, but why here? Please go somewhere more popular for a tour, this is a place for quiet fishing 😭
Nevertheless, I drove another mile to get even a better sport to complete my weekend 😊
