A Few From Last Night...

Turns out, my son was able to go fishing last night, so, as much as I wanted to head to one of my favorite creeks, thought it best to go where the casting was easier. As much as it pains me, he's still a novice at fly fishing; sports (which he's pretty good at) have always got in the way of fishing and hunting seasons with him.

Anyway, since he's still on the learning curve for casting, wanted to go where there wasn't much for brush. He didn't catch any. We're going back tomorrow night and I'm playing guide...He'll catch fish if it kills me.

It was also one of those evenings where it seems like I was tying knots every other cast...But, thought I'd post a few of mine from last night...

First one...



Temps have cooled pretty dramatically, which has made August much better so far than July...



Didn't mean to do this, but that's my son casting an old RPL in the background...



Largest of the evening...





And a couple to close it all out...(Weird: There's a little blood on my net; he was bleeding when I grabbed him to get the fly out...And, it was squarely in the corner of his jaw, not gills...Swam away fine, but I don't recall seeing a fish bleed like that from the mouth before)



Last of the night...



And a nice sunset to end by...
