Turning a Bad Day into a Fantastic Day

Karen and I were all packed on Thursday, ready for an adventure on Friday. About 9 pm on Thursday night, I get a call from my buddy Pat. He had blown a tire, lost control of his car and ended up past a ditch well into the forest. He was not injured. His blown tire was shredded but the day before, he also had a flat,...no spare. Pat had to walk several miles to get cell phone service. His buddy Steve headed out west of Rocky to rescue Pat. Another good samaritan helped pull his car out of the forest onto the side of the road. Steve got him into Red Deer with one of the flat tires late Thursday. Friday morning, we got the tire repaired. Pat and I headed out to change out a tire and limp the car back to the pavement. 

As we got closer to Red Deer, we decided to fly fish on the Red Deer River. Pat had a great time catching rocky mountain whitefish. It was a great way to put the nasty car incident behind him.

Pat and I were using Frenchies and Rainbow Warrior nymphs in sizes 14 and 16. They certainly helped to turn around an unfortunate incident.
