We took my nephew fishing

[cpierce]

My nephew was here for a few days of visiting and fishing. We took him up hiking into a couple of creeks here in Idaho, and since it was still hunting season, we all have bright orange vests on in the pictures. The bright vests made it a bit difficult to not spook every fish within 2 miles, but the fishing was still pretty good anyway....even with that many of us splashing around in the creek. Plus for once I didn't have to man the camera! [cool]

Some October caddis were hatching and there were some green bodied hoppers in the grass, so we mostly used stimulators, hoppers, adams, and caddis flies. It was a blast to still have good dry fly fishing this late in the year.

Tom started it off by showing us how it is done at a beaver dam.



Unfortunately he also over topped his waders when we tried to get upstream past the beaver pond. There was just no way through the willow jungle at that spot. I must have ribbed him a bit too much about it, because my karma left at the end of the day, and I slid down a bank to take a full side plunge in the creek. It was a wet day but great fun!

Total fun for all, and I'll probably be back out there …..somewhere….. soon!

Sounds like an awesome trip. I love when the October caddis come off. Those are some beautiful cutts, you guys definitely showed him a good time, even if you guys did both end up cold and wet.

Well done and thanks for sharing. Some of those cutts seem enormous for that little stream, particularly the one in the next-to-last photo--very handsome specimens!
