Salmonfly hatch 6-12

Ran up the canyon here, with kids in tow, and found the salmonfly hatch going on. Caught fish after fish, they were smashing anything! Fun few hours. Even had Noah catching a few.

Birthday Bash

well, what can I say boys? Amid rain and cold, we stuck with it and were rewarded for our efforts. Don't know if I can ever go back.. that would be tempting fate.

Best Day Ever!












ok, that's all I can say. I'll post some photos, but it doesn't do it justice. suffice it to say, caught about 40 fish, mostly between 14-19" Jumping, hopping, slamming mutha rainbows.. I was amazed at the ferocitiy and downright disregard for life that these fish showed. Many took me to task, and won. I had many bust my tippet like nothing, or tangle me in rocks and limbs.. leaving me shaking and confused.. quote of the day, "OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!" a few 'bows jumped 5 times in a row.. a site to see. Anyhow, I'll stand by my words. best day ever.
