Fishing and Bugs and Stuff
So, I've been trying fly-fishing for a few weeks now. It's both fun and incredibly frustrating. Susan's father has been kind enough to lend me one of his fly rods for a while (thanks Keith). I figured since I live in the heart of fly-fishing country I'd better take advantage. So far I've caught a few smallish fish (9-12 inch brook, cut-throat, brown, and rainbow trout). I got some information on how and where to catch some big brown trout (20-24 inches) in the south fork of the snake river. Saturday Jon and I thought we'd give it a try. We fished the location for a few hours. I caught a couple of smallish brown trout and Jon caught one small fish. We didn't really see any big fish until we were leaving when we saw an inaccesible huge fish. Oh well, we had fun and are learning a few things, I think. I'll get it figured out soon enough. I gathered a few stone fly nymph shucks yesterday. Enjoy.

I'm glad you are using the pole! Learn how so you can teach your father-in-law! He finds it very relaxing, so far!
