Spring Fly Fishing Trip

May 25th, 2010

My friend Paul and I got out for a short fly fishing trip a few weeks ago in northeastern Utah, on the Green River just below the Flaming Gorge Dam.  It was my first experience with fly fishing, I loved it!  Of course it started dumping snow on the way there, in typical form for this “spring” we’re having in Utah.  We camped out the first night and awoke to six inches of snow on the tents!

I didn’t do too much fishing in the snow on the first day – it would have been a tough day to learn.  I always enjoy taking pictures in crappy weather though!

Sage and Luna loved every minute of it!

We had better weather on the second day – It was warm enough to float down the river in the drift boat.  Paul taught me a little bit about casting and I caught my first fish.  Paul caught this fish above on the first day, in the snow.
