Float Fishing Today

 The catching was good with a Arkansas River stonefly and a two-bit hooker.

 Lucas rowed half of the time and fished half of the time.

 The red two-bit hooker caught many fish.

The weather was great for a float fishing trip today.  They are calling for snow here tomorrow afternoon.

Beautiful Day

 Rainbows like the red copper John

 The Fish Spotter liked all of the fish I caught.

Browns like the Arkansas River stonefly
