My Daughters first real fly fishing trip
I took my Daughter to the upper xxxxxxxx river for her first real fly fishing trip. *We had a good outing and brought about two dozen to hand in three or so hours. *Most were in the 6 to 12" range with two around 16 which is a large fish for those parts. *Trinity and I got most of them on a Madam X, Stimulator and my foam Humpy pattern. *The two larger fish were taken on either a Bugger or leach. *It is one of my favorite places to fish and we did not see another person.... surprise huh. :) *
The water was perfect, not too low and still fairly cold. *Conditions could not have been better.
Great views all around. *Nothing like this high desert country.

She missed at least four strikes to every fish but is starting to get it. *There were plenty of willing participants.

She found a nice place for lunch.
