Today's Blog Post
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of hosting/guiding a family from Iowa. They have limited warm water fishing experience, and they have never used fly fishing equipment.
I quickly discovered the 12 year old girl is a fly fishing prodigy - she easily out fished her dad, and caught lots of trout on a dry fly, dry-dropper, and a tightline nymph rig (with my 10'6" 3wt rod). Also, in quick time, she mastered vertical plane casting, false casting, roll casting, mending, hook set, stripping line, playing/fighting fish, and easily (fearlessly) picked up fish for the best photos - it was truly amazing to watch her!

| Rain the previous nights created high dirty water, but we managed to catch a couple dozen fish each day. |
