Took the Mrs, the pup, and an old friend out yesterday and floated a Columbia tributary. Fishing was tough. Flow was 2,340 CFS, which is pretty low for that river. In my experience it fishes a lot better about 1,000 CFS higher. In any case, we managed two decent cutties to the net and LDRed a third.
It was a great day nonetheless with lots of laughs and perfect weather. Swam the dog a bunch and wore him out. Had a riverside lunch with grilled Costco polish dogs and shrimp cocktail. My girl hooked and landed her 2nd fly-caught trout and was elated. We kept the two fish (both hatchery) we caught and ate them tonight for dinner. Delicious. Sometimes a banner day doesn’t necessarily depend on a bunch of fish caught. I think my favorite part is watching my darlin’ progress as an angler.
