Fly fishing!

Joel and I decided to go fishing on the little river near the Cascades this past Saturday. We started around 8:00am and were only going to fish for a few hours. Little did we know how much fun we were going to have fishing. I needed a refresher course of fly fishing since I hadnt done any since we left Colorado. Joel made the first cast and to our shock a fish took the bait first time! Joel is holding the first fish of the day!

Here was my first fish of the morning.

Below is the Brookie trout that I caught and am claiming was the biggest catch of the day! This little guy was pretty fun to catch but I had a little trouble getting the hook out of his mouth so when I put him back in the river he sunk. Joel told me to grab him and hold him to help the water flow in his lungs. I went to grab him totally relying on the rock which turned on me and I went face first for the water. Thankfully my hand hit bottom before my head went in, the fish yes he did just fine!

Between the two of us we caught about 15 or so fish. It was a perfect day for fishing. And to think if I had gotten the job at the bakery I would have totally missed out on this great trip!

Our day ended with us getting Outback to go for lunch/dinner. We were having so much fun that we fished right through lunch and ended up leaving a lot later than we'd planned. It was definitely well worth it. We had a great time.
