After that close call I decided I had enough fish pics for the day. Fortunately I was able to grab my new camera (that was around my neck) with my left hand and prevented it from getting submerged. As I was wading I slipped and was unable to catch my balance. The granite rocks in this section had some slime on them. I was wading up river a little so I could get a better angle on an area I wanted to fish. What happens next is an example of why I am not 100% sold on Vibram wading boots. I landed him snapped a quick pic and sent him on his way. Although this fish was not huge he sure was a feisty little guy. I landed him, released him and resumed fishing.Ī little while later on a very nice drift I saw the indicator just get hammered. When I got a look at the fish I knew it was not a trout yes I had caught my first whitefish of the day. On the first cast I saw the indicator go crazy and I set the hook. Oh well they were still fun.Īfter a little while I decided to switch things up, so I grabbed my 5wt and set up a nymph rig. The second decided that he didn’t want to play anymore when I was about to net him. Unfortunately the first one got off about 15 seconds after I started fighting him. I also managed to entice some larger fish to take my fly. This proved to be a fine choice as there were plenty of little guys that wanted to play.
I decided to start the day throwing dries on with SPL.

Maybe I should switch it from autofocus to manual focus).Īfter a while I reached the place that I wanted to fish.

I don’t know what they are but they look cool (sorry the pics are slightly out of focus I am still learning how to use my new camera. On the way I noticed some flowers with these green bugs.
Once I was on the other side of the river I followed the trail towards the place I wanted to fish. A short time later the river was in sight. I grabbed my pack and headed down the trail. I quickly got out of my car, got my gear bag and rods out of the trunk and got to business. Once I was on the dirt road, it was a while before I reached my destination. I will admit that I was pretty excited as I just love fishing this particular area. I eventually managed to get around her on a long straightaway however I had to hit above 80 to pass her.Īfter a bit of a drive I finally saw the turnout for my destination. Then when there was a straightaway and passing lane she would floor it making it difficult and unsafe to pass her. One person in a Jag that I found particularly annoying would slow way down on the corners to around 25 MPH.

As luck would have it on the drive I managed to get behind every slow driver in Idaho. I woke back up at 0650 and thought oh sh** I overslept.Īfter quickly getting dressed and brushing my teeth I got in the car and took off. Unfortunately a few minutes turned into a few hours. I thought to myself “I will just lie in bed for a few minutes. Now I remember the alarm going off and me turning it off. I packed my car the night before, set my alarm for 0345 and went to bed. Unfortunately due to circumstances they were unable to make it, so it was a solo trip this time. Originally the plan was for me to fish with two of my friends. After a long week that included a trip to the hospital I was relieved to be able to get out into the woods.
