So I just got back from being with our ward young men at summer camp... Always love being able to go to the Winds and now I'm not the leader anymore, I was even more lucky to be able to join them...
After a rough hike in on an old man, or at least I felt that way after the hike... we set up camp and crawled into our sleeping bags and died... but resurrected first thing in the morning to this:
[inline "wind 18 morning glass.JPG"] Since most of the boys didn't rise early I played with the brookies and my fly rod, it was a fun start... think I ran off about 32 fish before I went back to camp for breakfast... most were small, but fun on a 3 WT...
(Well this isn't working, see next picture below I can't get it to show up here)
After breakfast I taught three of the boys how to fly fish and then we returned to the lake to catch a few Mac.

We caught about 25 of the mac and then decided to go exploring to see what was around us... found some cool stuff
See next couple pictures below...

I can't figure out why this works sometimes and not others... one more picture below..
Well the next few days were full of fish and more fun like this... ended up catching so many fish even I was tired of reeling in fish... lost a ton of tackle and must say I once again am hating that crap nanofil line, it really sucks for big fish... I lost way too much tackle due to sucky line... it casts great, but sure don't stand up to abrasion of strong fish... guess my best fish was 23-24" nice mac.... probably around 5-6 lbs... fun trip... Later J
