GREAT Day on The River!!!!

The fishing was outstanding today.   The red two bit hooker was the fly of choice.

2/26/2014 Float

 Lucas tried many different flies from his fly box.

The Fish Spotter was replaced by Paisley who was concerned by my ability to navigate through the rocks.

Out with the skis--in with the oar handles.

 The boat floats!!

 Darlene was my first client....boy was she demanding.
 All she wanted to do was catch fish.

 The Fish Spotter was examining the 2-wire stone fly.

Darlene was happy to land this fish!!

2nd. lap.  This is what skinning up hills is all about--making turns on the way down.
The highway at the top of Red Mountain Pass is in the background.

Salida East to Rincon Float

 Alex liked it in the back.  He caught fish with a newly designed golden stone fly.

 The fish hit midges in the morning and mayfly patterns in the afternoon.

Lucas caught fish on his new patterns today.
