Fishing!

This morning I was rained out of my training ride but it was also nice to come home early. I decided it would be a great day to take Logan fishing since it stopped raining. I knew that I had to go with little or no expectations for myself but I really wanted Logan to catch his first fish and boy did he show dad how to catch a fish.

We went down to Hobble creek in Springville and i rigged up the rod and Logan and I set out on our fishing adventure. I carried him most of the way but he wanted to get in the water so he ended up walking with me some of the time. We would go from hole to hole and I would kneel or he would sit in my lap while we cast the fly in. We got a few strikes and saw TONS of fish. In the last hole we put a small caddis fly on the water and... WHAM! A big fat 15 inch rainbow hit it and we brought him to shore. I got Logan to hold it but it flopped out before I could get a picture and he didn't want to hold it again. So I had to hold it. He wanted to know where the "fish go?" all the way back tot he car and i had to keep telling him he went back to his family. Logan is now satisfied that the fish is safe and with his family.

We had a great time and I hope that there will be many more fishing trips with LoLo in the future. Here is the Guide himself with his trophy 'Bow"!
