Saturday on the River with Mary

Saturday I got to spend the day on the river with my lovely wife. As you all can see the fishing was good amongst a little wind and occasional spitting rain. Rainbows were the flavor of the day as they wanted to eat midges, mayflies and a few stones.

These rainbows fell victim to the infamous 2 Bit Hooker, color red.T

My Day on the Ditch with FISHSPOTTER

 Got to spend a great day on the ditch with my good buddy Fishspotter aka Larry. First trip of the 

year down the river together to test some patterns, laugh and row. A great time was had by all parties.

 Larry hooked up again, was a common theme most of the day

 Our fine finned friends were on a solid diet of golden stones today.

Fisherspotter looks on for the next fish to be caught.
