Same Ole, Same Ole

Sunset at the boat take-out. Another spectacular day on the ditch. Fish were active early and eating aggressively on the surface all morning (early) though. The pink chubby and olive Amy's Ant was the meal ticket. Early to rise, early to take off, made the hookin and catchin good for two days, hell by 9:45 am, when we took off.

RAP

Random Acts of Photo makes it second appearance on Floatfisher this week. It seems these days that everyone is too busy fishing to actually look around and enjoy the surroundings when your  on the ditch, it is not all about the "grip and grins" and the fish. You gotta look around at the sights. It is amazing what you see every day through the lens. Instead of holding the 

fish out to make it look bigger, snap a photo of something else, from a different

perspective.

 The grasses right next to the side channel we were fishing.

 More cowbell, I said More Cowbell, damn it.

 The Chevy's seen better days. 

No matter what river, always a welcome sight, as long as your in the boat. 

To Portage or NOT............ NOT.........

On a recent float we were told we would come across a "low" bridge. You often hear about this, but most times you shrug it off and say we can make it. We proceeded to ask a few more questions and decided we could take off the leaning bar just to be on the safe side.

Up stream side of the "low" bridge. Either side looked or appeared the same height

 Straws were drawn and Ms. Floatfisher would maneuver the bridge. No fast water, just had to line it

up, tuck the oars and duck. As you can see the seat hung up in the middle of the bridge, it was definitely a "low" bridge.

 Ms. Floatfisher looks for her audience, to say she made through. Golf claps were heard through the valley. Just a mere scrap on the top of the seat.

 The overall scene is pretty with the bridge, barn and imposing storm. After all said the storm severely damaged the nearby Bannock State Park and many of its historic buildings.

 Time to pickup the photographer and fisherman.  All in the name of catching nice large fish.
