Where I caught the 17 inch Brown
Okay…it is a day late and I apologize for that! However, I had some issues with the photos so I have a bit of an excuse.
One of the beautiful things about fly fishing is that it teaches you to live in the moment. If you are not aware of each second then you would surely miss the opportunities that arise in the form of catching fish. When fishing for trout specifically they can rise in an instant and be gone just as quickly. You very much have to experience it all as it is happening or you miss the experience.
With the stunning beauty of the surroundings, the utter enjoyment of the fishing and the wonderful interaction with my two eldest children…I had such a fantastic time. We ended up fishing for three days. The first day we fished Flat Creek; the second Caples Creek; and the third the Silver Fork of the American. I am still trying to decide if I should give exact locations and give away our secrets, but suffice it to say that we had to do a fair amount of walking to get away from the beaten path and into some great fishing.
I can tell you this…Flat Creek was flat this time of year. I have never fished this creek in July before and now I know why. It was much too low for any productive fishing. However, the next two days were filled with lots of fish and lots of fun and lots of walking. We were just absolutely worn out. Anyhow, my main objective is just to say how proud I am of my children as they were really starting to get a hang of this sport that literally takes decades to fully learn. Also, I wanted to share just a few pictures for fun!

Nice Brown!

On my blog there is one of my youngest son with his first rainbow. He hooked it deep, so we kept it.

Those are beautiful places…that is a nice fish as well! I can see the blood coming down the side…too bad when you want to release them…but they are good eating too!
I just happen to be allergic so we rarely keep the fish we catch…(I am fortunate enough to be able to go a fair amount and the numbers are in the many hundreds every summer)…it’s great to let them grow and catch them again when they are bigger as well.
