In our house, family trumps everything. Karen and I have been staying close to home to help and lend much needed support to our family! We did, however, have an opportunity to head west to do some cutthroat fly fishing and camping. We had one night so we tossed in the tent, fly fishing gear and the Coleman Stove. We crawled out of bed at 5:30 am and dashed. We both needed a break!
Once at our camping spot, we set up our tent and then loaded up our packs to hike and hopefully find some west slope cutthroat to cast to! The water flows were still a bit high and the water off colour! No matter, we were going to be on the water. Yahoo!
The fly fishing was fabulous. Karen and I happily covered lots of water and we shook hands with so many cutthroat. It was a welcome break.
The best part of the fly fishing was it was mainly a dry fly game. Chernobyls, PMDs, Ants, and a variety of mayflies were on the menu and the constant changes kept us on our toes. Karen and I loved fly fishing with two dry flies at a time. That was fun.The weather was perfect. Big blue sky for two days. Yep, we loved it!
Our mini break recharged our batteries. As everyone knows, life can be full of twists and turns! Fly fishing was a welcome distraction!

Yep, we nymphed early in the day until the dry fly action started!

I even broke out my bamboo rod. My bamboo rod reminded me to slow down and enjoy the moment!
